In cyclocomp: Cyclomatic Complexity of R Code

#' Cyclomatic Complexity of R Code
#'
#' Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric (measurement), used to indicate
#' the complexity of a program. It is a quantitative measure of the number of
#' linearly independent paths through a program's source code. It was developed
#' by Thomas J. McCabe, Sr. in 1976.

#' Cyclomatic Complexity of R Code

#' Calculate the cyclomatic complexity of an R function or expression.
#' @param expr An R function or expression.
#' @return Integer scalar, the cyclomatic complexity of the
