Wacek, many thanks! I'm wondering however whether this will be problematic on
Windows (I have no windows box to hand to check this, but am creating a
package that I would like to be cross-platform)?
It will fail. But
sink(tempfile())
...
sink()
is portable (and sink("nul:") works on Windows only).

Is it possible to temporarily suspend output? I am using a function
that gives lots of output using cat, that is not very informative. Is
it possible to turn output off, run the function, then turn output
back on again? I've looked at ?options and done various RSiteSearch()s
but couldn't find a way to do this.
sink("/dev/null")
?sink
