Let me give partial assent to Michael's suggestion: a) have an easy way to turn this on and b) add a strong suggestion to do so to the WRE manual. Kurt's example in the email shows how to do (a); but I just looked in the WRE manual and don't see any reference to it, nor any mention from R CMD check --help, so I don't know where I would have found out about it.
I have gotton warnings about partial matches from CRAN wrt the survival package --- I suspect at the benefit of Kurt --- and though I muttered under my breath about it at the time there is no doubt that it was a good idea to fix all of them, and I'm glad for the nudge. Kurt: does that envionment variable contain the options string itself, or does it point to a file containing the options? I appreciate partial matching when typing code at the terminal so want the feature to remain in that context.
