#'to_node
#'@description Recursive function to restructure objects so
#' xml2::as_xml_document() function will convert them to the desired XML format
#'@param object An object (so far works for r2ogs6 class objects, strings,
#' numbers, lists and vectors)
#'@param object_name string: Optional: The object name. If not supplied, this
#' function tries to guess the tag name by deparsing the 'object' parameter
#'@param attribute_names Optional: A character vector containing names of
#' attributes or attribute nodes
#'@param flatten_on_exp character: Optional: This is for vectors which will be
#' flattened to a string in XML
#'@param unwrap_on_exp character: Optional: This is for lists which will not
#' be exported to XML
