# hutils

Miscellaneous R functions and aliases

My name is Hugh and this is a package of functions I often put in `R/utils.s`.

Hence, `hutils`.

### Scope

The package attempts to provide lightweight, fast, and stable functions for 

common operations.

By **lightweight**, I mean in terms of dependencies: we import 

`package:data.table` and `package:fastmatch` which do require compilation, but 

in C.  Since so many operations handle data frames, `data.table` seemed 

worthwhile -- and besides its compile time is not too onerous.

Otherwise, all dependencies do not require compilation. (I also try to minimize

the cardinality of package imports, but it's mostly the compile time I'm 

focused on.)

By **fast**, I mean essentially as fast as possible without using compilation.

By **stable**, I mean that unit tests should not change unless the major version also

changes. To make this completely transparent, tests include the version of their

introduction and are guaranteed to not be modified (not even in the sense of 

adding extra, independent tests) while the major version is 1. Tests that do not

include the version in their filename may be modified from version to version 

(though this will be avoided).
