This function, along with new options provided by the redcap API system, applies the metadata to the data via factor levels and variable labels (in Hmisc R package). Will Gray wrote it. Thank him if you see him. * Scott Burns has written an [[http://sburns.org/2013/07/22/intro-to-redcap-api.html][introduction to redcap's API]].
