+- `nonmissingtype` to extract `T` from a `Union{T, Missing}` type
 - `allowmissing` and `disallowmissing` to convert between `Vector{T}` and `Vector{Union{T, Missing}}`
 - `passmissing` to wrap a function so that it returns `missing` if any of its positional arguments is `missing`
 - `levels` to get the unique values in a vector excluding `missing` and in their preferred order
