> Contexts for evaluating R expressions

This package organises collecting (and recreating) the context of an R expression to replay later.

## Concepts

### Task

A task is an **expression** to be evaluated in a **context**.  When evaluated it will create a **result**.

### Contexts

These are the ingredients to create an environment (in rrqueue they're called environments but I think that context is a little ambiguous).  A context does imply an environment, but several environments might go into a context.

These will be saved at `/contexts/` where `` is an identifier that we'll generate to be unique to a context.

A context includes:

* a set of packages to install and load

* a set of R files to `source`, or a global environment to create

* a local environment to create

In addition, the expression may have local variables.

## Installation

```r

# install.packages("drat")

drat:::add("mrc-ide")

install.packages("context")

```
