My biggest takeaway from Hadley's talk Tidyverse: The Greatest Mistakes is the existence of the embrace {{ }} operator for doing tidyeval. It lets you do
Instead of the usual enquo, !! cycle of doing things
My question is twofold:
a) where is the documentation for this operator? I can't seem to google or ctrl+f for this in the dplyr release notes
b) does the 'embrace' operator work with ...?. For example, is there a way to make this example work using {{ }}?
Since {{ is meant to deal with the simplest cases of quasiquotation/interpolation, I don't think you can pass the dots directly into the embracing operator, but don't 100% take my word on that. See, for example, how {{ and ... are used respectively in this document (note, however, that this some sections reflect experiments in and shouldn't be taken as set in stone): https://rpubs.com/lionel-/superstache
