Hello dear dev team,

In the recent devel R-exts manual I cannot find any information about new
option `--ignore-vignettes` to `R CMD check`. I would expect it to be
mentioned somewhere in "1.4.2 Non-Sweave vignettes".

Which is a subsection of §1.4 'Writing package vignettes', so your expectations are misplaced: it is nothing to do with *writing*.

Checked on https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html and
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/doc/manual/R-exts.texi

Where does it say that all the possible arguments to 'check' are documented in the manual? It says otherwise in §1.3.1:

'Use R CMD check --help to obtain more information about the usage of the R package checker. A subset of the checking steps can be selected by adding command-line options.'

R CMD check --help includes

      --ignore-vignettes    skip all tests on vignettes

[This is really intended for those doing automated checking, not end users.]
