Hi,

Could R-Core consider adding 'RtangleRuncode' and 'RtangleFinish' to the 
exports of utils. Their weave equivalent 'makeRweaveLatexCodeRunner' and 
'RweaveLatexFinish' are exported, as well as the other tangle utility 
functions 'RtangleSetup' and 'RtangleWritedoc'.

The rationale is not just symmetry. ;-) 

I'm finishing a small package that will provide "enhanced" drivers for Sweave 
that are heavily based on the standard RweaveLatex and Rtangle drivers. So much 
so that I can reuse most of the utiity functions called by RweaveLatex() and 
Rtangle(). Now, 'RtangleRuncode' and 'RtangleFinish' are not exported and 'R 
CMD check' really does not like that I use the ::: operator to reach the 
functions.

The alternative is to duplicate the code verbatim in my package. This does not 
seem very sensible, especially since I would then need to track any changes to 
the aforementioned functions to remain in line.

Here is the proposed patch against the current r-devel tree:
