Private options for mvbutils package and beyond

Description

Set/get values in the environment mvbutils::mvboptions. Mostly for mvbutils itself, but anyone can use it at their own risk! Partly intended to ultimately obviate the dicey mvb.session.info environment on the search path...

Usage

mvboption(...) # eg mvboption( use_something=TRUE) to set,
# ... or mvboption( 'what_am_i') to get

Arguments

...	Either a named pairlist (eg mvboption( a=1, b=2)) to set, or a character vector to get

Value

Any previous value(s) of the options, if setting; this might mean an empty list. When getting, it's a list if more than one thing is being gotten, or the value itself if just one. More obvious than it sounds. See Examples.

Examples

mvboption( something=1)  # empty list
mvboption( a=2, b=3)     # empty list
mvboption( 'b')          # [1] 3
mvboption( cq( a, b))    # list with two elements
