`remove_row`	Should the row `row_number` be removed from the resulting data.frame?
`remove_rows_above`	If `row_number != 1`, should the rows above `row_number` - that is, between `1:(row_number-1)` - be removed from the resulting data.frame?

x <- data.frame(X_1 = c(NA, "Title", 1:3),
                X_2 = c(NA, "Title2", 4:6))
x %>%
  row_to_names(row_number = 2)
