Style of call to fit

[dmbates]

To prevent long calls of the form

m4 = fit(MixedModel, @formula(y ~ 1 + a + b*c + x + (1+a|f) + ...), dat; contrasts)

where the formula tends to push all the other arguments off to the right, I have taken to writing a let block of the form

m4 = let
    f = @formula(y ~ 1 + a + b*c + x + (1+a|f) + ...)
    fit(MixedModel, f, dat; contrasts)
end

I also tend to create a constrasts specification called contrasts so that only the name of the argument needs to be specified.

By the way, many thanks to the authors of the StandardizedPredictors package, which has helped to make things much more understandable.

@kleinschmidt and I are thrilled to see it used. 😄
