As of right now, as far as I can tell, the documentation for the new
native |> pipe still says that it's experimental.
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/library/base/man/pipeOp.Rd#L45
*Pipe support is experimental and may change prior to release.*
Also still in the 4-1 branch:
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/R-4-1-branch/src/library/base/man/pipeOp.Rd#L45
(The corresponding comment in the NEWS file has been fixed in the
last 24 hours, but hasn't propagated to the online/HTML version on the
developer page yet ...)
As a "wish list" item, if there are any particularly
salient/important differences between the |> pipe and the %>% magrittr
pipe, it would be great to have those documented (I know that
documenting the difference between a base-R operator and the one that's
implemented in a non-Recommended package is a little weird, but it would
be helpful in this case ...) I know I could go back to the mailing list
discussion at
https://hypatia.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2020-December/080173.html
and try to figure it out for myself ...
cheers
Ben Bolker
