Used to initialize a startr template for analysis. Will enforce some startr-required standards for analysis (such as removing scientific notation, setting timezones, and writing some project configs to `options`).

initialize_startr(
  author = "Firstname Lastname <firstlast@example.com>",
  title = "startr",
  scipen = 999,
  timezone = "America/Toronto",
  should_render_notebook = FALSE,
  should_process_data = TRUE,
  should_timestamp_output_files = FALSE,
  should_clean_processing_variables = TRUE,
  should_beep = TRUE,
  set_minimal_graphics_theme = TRUE,
  packages = c()
)
