It would be really good to emphasise this somewhere. I didn't that
this was best practice.
It would be nice to have a base R function that converts a function
name to a filename - then there would be a convention for how to do
so, and perhaps some of the filename <-> function name mismatches
would be resolved. A heuristic along the following lines might work:
- replace . with -
- modify the following special strings:
* +,-,/,* to add, subtract, divide, multiply
* [ to subset, [[ to subset2
* $ to dollar
* $<- dollar-assign
* [<- subset-assign, [[ subset2-assign
