Is there a good strategy for testing examples which should not be run by

If I wrap them in try() then they can be skipped if the Internet is not
available, but may not be tested in cases when I would like to know
about the failure. (Not to mention that the example syntax is ugly.)
If I mark them \dontrun or \donttest then they are not tested. I could
mark them \dontrun and then use example() but for this, in addition to
run.dontrun=TRUE, I would need to specify all topics for a package, and
I don't see how to do this, missing topic does not work.
Wishlist: what I would really like is R CMD check --run-dontrun pkg
We have that in R-devel, so everyone will have it next April, but there
will possibly be bugs unless people like you try it out now.
Are you anticipating my wishes now, or did you tell me this and it
entered my subconscious? So far it works as advertised.
Thanks,
