restore all the classes on [.describe

[romainfrancois]

I believe this caused the package neuropsychology to fail against dplyr 1.0.0 because a data frame with additional class describe is [ and this method only keeps "describe" as the class.

related to tidyverse/dplyr#5240

[romainfrancois]

perhaps object <- NextMethod() ?

For reference, here is how neuropsychology fails:

in relation with the describe function : https://github.com/romainfrancois/neuropsychology.R/blob/master/R/describe.R#L10 that ends up calling dplyr::mutate() which uses [.describe https://github.com/tidyverse/dplyr/blob/master/R/mutate.R#L202

Unfortunately I haven't been able to test this thoroughly as I was not able to build Hmisc locally.

[romainfrancois]

We've now merged extra checking in dplyr so that the error becomes:

library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)

neuropsychology::personality %>% 
  select(where(is.numeric)) %>% 
  psych::describe() %>% 
  transmute(a = 1)
#> Error: Can't reconstruct data frame.
#> x The `[` method for class <psych/describe/data.frame> must return a data frame.
#> ℹ It returned a <describe>.

Thanks working on this. I would need a formal pull request and testing before I can proceed. Sorry I don't have time soon to work on this myself.
