I was horrified when I saw John Weinstein's article about Excel turning
gene names into dates. Mainly because I had been complaining about that
phenomenon for years, and it never remotely occurred to me that you could
get a publication out of it.
I eventually rectified the situation by publishing

I am fairly certain that the check for documentation is really just a check
for the presence of the function name in an "alias" line. My circumstantial
evidence, from a package in the early stages of development, came from
changing the name of a function. I updated everything else (usage,

Cool.
Since I got a package accepted overnight, I'm going to take credit for

It does look like the apparent exponential growth in packages may have
finally come to an end however, collapsing back to something nearly
linear. Note that under an exponential growth model, CRAN
Would it make sense to recreate the "searchable R help pages" by feeding
them all into elasticsearch, which will automatically index them and
also provides an extensive (HTTP+JSON-based) API to perform complex
searches?

If no one in R Core does anything about this issue (in terms of changing
Sweave or Stangle), then the solution still remains very simple.
Authors of vignettes should avoid using anything in \Sexpr{} that has a

Hi,
Unless someone is planning to change Stangle to include inline
expressions (which I am *not* advocating), I think that relying on
side-effects within an \Sexpr construction is a bad idea. So, my own
coding style is to restrict my use of \Sexpr to calls of the form
