\usage{
aruba(x = "Aruba", quiet = getOption("islandcodes.aruba.quiet", FALSE))
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{A character vector of country names or ISO codes. Defaults
to \code{"Aruba"}.}

\item{quiet}{Logical. If \code{FALSE} (the default in interactive
sessions, when called with no arguments) a short homage message is
printed once. Set to \code{TRUE}, or set
\code{options(islandcodes.aruba.quiet = TRUE)} globally, to silence.}
}
\value{
A data frame with one row per element of \code{x} (the same
  shape as \code{\link{island_lookup}}).
}
\description{
A convenience wrapper around \code{\link{island_lookup}} with Aruba
as the default. Calling \code{aruba()} returns Aruba's classification
row; passing another country or ISO code returns that one instead.
}
\details{
Named in homage to Edward Cheung, the Aruban engineer at NASA
Goddard who designed A.R.U.B.A. (the ASCS/NCS Relay Unit Breaker
Assembly) installed on the Hubble Space Telescope during the 2002
servicing mission. Cheung engineered the backronym specifically so
children in his home country would have something concrete to point
to on the telescope. We borrowed the trick. His ARUBA cuts power to
Hubble's instruments when there is a fault; ours returns a row of
classification data. Both spell Aruba.
