title: 'TypeInfo: Optional Type Specification Prototype'
version: 1.71.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.TypeInfo
abstract: A prototype for a mechanism for specifying the types of parameters and the
  return value for an R function. This is meta-information that can be used to generate
  stubs for servers and various interfaces to these functions. Additionally, the arguments
  in a call to a typed function can be validated using the type specifications. We
  allow types to be specified as either i) by class name using either inheritance
  - is(x, className), or strict instance of - class(x) %in% className, or ii) a dynamic
  test given as an R expression which is evaluated at run-time. More precise information
  and interesting tests can be done via ii), but it is harder to use this information
  as meta-data as it requires more effort to interpret it and it is of course run-time
  information. It is typically more meaningful.
