-}
-\arguments{
-\item{x}{A vector or factor.}
-
-\item{position}{An integer or a vector of integers, indicating the position(s)
-of the value(s) to be returned. Negative values are counted from the end of
-the vector. If \code{NA}, an error is thrown.}

-This function can be used to extract one or more values at a

-value_at(mtcars$mpg, -1)
-# out of range, return default
