In jimhester/lintr: A 'Linter' for R Code

Require usage of !any(x) over all(!x), !all(x) over any(!x)

Description

any(!x) is logically equivalent to !all(x); ditto for the equivalence of all(!x) and !any(x). Negating after aggregation only requires inverting one logical value, and is typically more readable.

Usage
