Some gtsummary objects can become large and the size becomes cumbersome
when working with the object.
The function removes all elements from a gtsummary object, except those
required to print the table. This may result in gtsummary functions
that add information or modify the table, such as add_global_p(),
will no longer execute
after the excess elements have been removed (aka butchered). Of note,
the majority of inline_text() calls will continue to execute
properly.
tbl_butcher(x, include = NULL)a gtsummary object
names of additional elements to retain in the gtsummary
object. c("table_body", "table_styling") will always be retained.
Default is NULL
