#' Weighted table
#'
#' @description
#' `weighted_table()` computes a weighted contingency table based on factors
#' provided in `...` and a double vector of weights provided in `weights`. It
#' can be seen as a weighted extension to [base::table()] and an alternative
#' to [stats::xtabs()].
#'
#' `weighted_table()` always uses the _exact_ set of levels returned by
#' `levels()` when constructing the table. This results in the following
#' properties:
#'
#' - Missing values found in the factors are never included in the table unless
#' there is an explicit `NA` factor level. If needed, this can be added to a
#' factor with [base::addNA()] or `forcats::fct_expand(x, NA)`.
#'
#' - Levels found in the factors that aren't actually used in the underlying
#' data are included in the table with a value of `0`. If needed, you can
#' drop unused factor levels by re-running your factor through [factor()],
#' or by calling `forcats::fct_drop()`.
#'
#' See the examples section for more information about these properties.
#'
#' @details
#' The result of `weighted_table()` does not have a `"table"` class attached
#' to it. It is only a double array. This is because "table" objects are
#' defined as containing integer counts, but weighted tables can utilize
#' fractional weights.
#'
#' @param ... Factors of equal length to use in the weighted table. If the
#' `...` are named, those names will propagate onto the "dimnames names" of
#' the resulting table. At least one factor must be provided.
#'
#' @param weights A double vector of weights used to fill the cells of the
#' weighted table. This must be the same length as the factors provided in
#' `...`.
#'
#' @param na_remove A single `TRUE` or `FALSE` for handling whether or not
#' missing values in `weights` should be removed when summing up the weights.
#'
#' @return
#' The weighted table as an array of double values.

#' y <- factor(c("a", "b", "a", NA))
#' w <- 1:4
#'
