Hey all,I've encountered use of the native pipe operator in the examples for 'httr2' e.g. request("http://example.com";) |> req_dry_run() Since r-oldrel (according to rversions::r_oldrel()) is now 4.2.3, can the native pipe be used in example code? I do notice that the package httr2 requires R >= 3.6.0 which implies that the code itself does not use the native pipe, but the examples do.
I think that the package should state it requires R (>= 4.1.0), since that code won't work in earlier versions.
I believe it's a syntax error before 4.1.0, but don't have a copy handy to test. That means the package won't pass R CMD check in those old versions. If it wasn't a syntax error, just a case of using a new feature, then I think it would be fine to put in a run-time test of the R version to skip code that won't run properly.
