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.
