Another approach is to write the following function
dontRun <- function(expr) {}
and replace that
if (FALSE) { ... questionable code ... }
with
dontRun( {... questionable code ...} )
If you do want the questionable code to run,
redefine dontRun to be
dontRun <- function(expr) { expr }
You can use this approach to put assertion tests
into your code that only get run when the assertion
function is defined to do something.
