I'm writing some code that does a bit of introspection of R6 classes and am
wondering about the "classname" parameter. Its the first parameter to the
"R6Class" class generator generator function, and the few examples I've
looked at on CRAN set it the same as the name of the generator function,

It seems like you want to use -> and <- as arrows with different meanings
to "A gets the value of B" in your package, as a means of writing
expressions in your package language.
Another possibility would be to use different symbols instead of the
problematic -> and <-, for example you could use <.
I think what's been missed is that zapsmall works relative to the absolute
largest value in the vector. Hence if there's only one
item in the vector, it is the largest, so its not zapped. The function's
raison d'etre isn't to replace absolutely small values,
but small values relative to the largest

If I start an R session with a previously saved .RData that has S4
objects in it, there are times when the associated package loads when
I use (or mention) the object, and times when it doesn't. For example:

programmatic modification of startup configuration tricky.
