tidyselect Warning when using pivot_wider with a variable for column name

[martinmodrak]

Some of the code in tidyr seems to not have been updated to reflect tidyselect 1.1.0 requirement to use all_of / any_of. This results in unnecessary warnings, but for some reason only when column names are passed as variables.

df <- data.frame(id = 1:40, a = rep(LETTERS[1:2], each = 20), val = rnorm(40))
#No warning
pivot_wider(df, names_from = "a", values_from = "val")

varname <- "val"
# Warning
pivot_wider(df, names_from = "a", values_from = varname)

The warning produced is

Warning: Using an external vector in selections was deprecated in tidyselect 1.1.0.
ℹ Please use `all_of()` or `any_of()` instead.
  # Was:
  data %>% select(varname)

  # Now:
  data %>% select(all_of(varname))

See <https://tidyselect.r-lib.org/reference/faq-external-vector.html>.
This warning is displayed once every 8 hours.
Call `lifecycle::last_lifecycle_warnings()` to see where this warning was generated.

Note: reprex requires a fresh session as the warning is not repeated on subsequent runs

Oh, that's my bad, I probably should've just use all_of myself, right?
