This package provides a set of additional operators and helper functions to make R code easier to read, write, and maintain. Includes string arithmetic (such as foo + bar'), in-place reassignment operators (such as x += 1), logical operators that handle missing values, floating-point and strict ('JavaScript'-style) equality tests, between operators, and SQL'-style pattern matching. Also provides convenience helpers for type conversion, operating-system checks, complete-cases statistics, and string manipulation, such as Oxford-comma pasting and extracting the first, last, n-th, or most common element of a vector or word in a string. The goal is to give R users, particularly those coming from other languages such as Python', a friendlier and more consistent syntax.
