The lazyeval package provides tools that make it easier to correctly
implement non-standard evaluation (NSE) in R. You use lazy evaluation by
requiring the user to “quote” specially evaluated arguments with
~
, and then using the lazyeval package to compute with
those formulas. It is also possible to eliminate the use of the
~
by converting promises to formulas. This does make
programming with such functions a little harder, but it can be worth it
in certain situations. See vignette("lazyeval")
for more
details.
