fct_recode(), rename factor level to f doesn't work

[Tazinho]

The following gives an error, since f is also the name of the data argument.
Is there a recommended workaround for these situations?

a <- factor(letters[1:5])
forcats::fct_recode(a, f= "a", h = "b")
Error: Each input to fct_recode must be a single named string. Problems at positions: 1

Same issue. I believe the problem is that 'f' is recognized as false in check_recode_levels of recode.R:

  is_ok <- function(x) is.character(x) && length(x) == 1
  ok <- vapply(levels, is_ok, logical(1))

Thanks for the bug report! I'll attack this systematically as part of #110
