One small, but concrete improvement to the output from help.search
would be to list the functions like:
methods::character-class
Classes Corresponding to Basic Data Types
RODBC::sqlTypeInfo Request Information about DataTypes in an ODBC
Database
and then extend ? to correctly parse (e.g.) ?methods::character-class
(although perhaps there a better display would be
methods::"character-class"). This change would make function calling
and accessing documentation a little more consistent.
It would also be useful to list keywords in the help documentation, so
that one could more easily figure out what other documentation might
be related.
