Add the
box::exportfunction which can be used instead of (not in addition to!)@exporttags. This function can also be used to declare that a module has no exports.The semantics of exporting were changed such that modules without any exports are now treated as legacy R script modules, and all visible names are exported by default. To retain the old functionality of exporting o names,
box::export()can be added to such modules.This improves support for legacy R scripts, and thus fixes #207.
