Arguments

name: Package name candidate.
dictionaries: Character vector, the dictionaries to query. Available dictionaries: * wikipedia * wiktionary, * sentiment (https://github.com/fnielsen/afinn), * urban (Urban Dictionary). If NULL (by default), the Urban Dictionary is omitted, as it is often offensive.
