Returns first non-NA value from a set of vectors.
At each position of the input vectors, iterates through in order and returns the first non-NA value. This is a robust replacement of the common ifelse(!is.na(x), x, ifelse(!is.na(y), y, z)). It's more readable and handles problems like ifelse's inability to work with dates in this way.
