Usage

as.keyvalue(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
as.keyvalue(x, standard_var_names = NULL, ...)

## Default S3 method:
as.keyvalue(x, y, ...)

is.keyvalue(x)

as.keyvalue returns a data.frame with additional class keyvalue that fulfills the requirements for a keyvalue object and with the key column as character.
