Perhaps the `nrows` param in print.data.table should be user
configurable by some `option`, maybe something like:

print.data.table <- function(x,
nrows=getOption('datatable.print.nrows', 100), ...) { ... }

Then you could `options(datatable.print.nrows=20)` if 100 is too high ...

Maybe?

I really like this suggestion. You could perhaps even set it to 0
temporarily while you were doing lots of := work. Do you want to raise a
feature request Steve?
I just committed code to SVN to support this.

Thanks! I look forward to this one making its way to the released versions.

The other thing is that this really doesn't address the `:=` printing
behavior specifically, so not sure how helpful this is in the long run
unless you don't mind calling `print` to view things explicitly.

I love calling print [1] so this one works for me. Thanks again.

Allan

[1] No, really: I do! There are too many side effects in R as it is, so for training I like to be explicit. Also I find that a lot of students have never heard of the print() function which is kind of a shame....
