sym()
creates a symbol from a string and
syms()
creates a list of symbols from a
character vector.
enquo()
and
enquos()
delay the execution of one or
several function arguments. enquo()
returns a single quoted
expression, which is like a blueprint for the delayed computation.
enquos()
returns a list of such quoted expressions.
expr()
quotes a new expression locally. It
is mostly useful to build new expressions around arguments
captured with enquo()
or enquos()
:
expr(mean(!!enquo(arg), na.rm = TRUE))
.
