I'm sure i've seen the answer to this, but can't find it:
If there is executable code in an R package .R file that does not return a
function (that is, something like x <- rnorm(5), outside any function body ),
what will actually happens at build and load time?
And (more importantly, so I can point a colleague to documented guidance on the
matter) is there somewhere in R's docs that says why this is not likely to be a
good idea and suggests the sort of things it is sensible - or not sensible - to
include in .R files?
