_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Loads a data frame of entity metadata into the metadata table of
     the given type(s).

_U_s_a_g_e:

     exp_loadInfo(ent_info, ent_types = "gene", append_col = TRUE, keywords = NULL, update_view = TRUE, sync = FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

ent_info: the data frame of entity information

ent_types: a single type identifier (applies to all rows) or a

append_col: whether the column should be appended or inserted after ID

keywords: a vector of identifiers that describe the added metadata

update_view: whether the metadata view should be updated

    sync: whether metadata rows should be filtered out if they don't

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The loaded entity metadata is merged with any existing data and
     the view is optionally updated to reflect the change. The new set
     of columns may be appended to the end or inserted just after the
     "ID" column.

     Metadata for multiple entity types may be added simultaneously, if
     'ent_types' is a vector with the same number of elements as the
     number of rows in 'ent_info' and specifies the type of the entity
     described by each row.
