Matt,
Thanks for the suggestion. [verbose=TRUE] does provide timing for grouping
operations, but I wonder if this could be extended to other fairly standard
operations with more user-friendly messages -- and maybe using another
argument if verbose is typically used for developers and not for end-users,
or by calling another function (similar to warnings() behavior).
For example:
- on data.table creation
=> "DF with xx variables and yy observations indexed on {w, z}"
- on index creation
=> "key created on variables x, y, z with xx unique values"
- on subsetting
=> "xx observations affected"
- on joining
=> "xx observations matched, yy NAs generated"
I'm happy to hear about other users' views and suggestions here.
--Mel.
