R devel - Jun 2005 - Wish/suggestion: Install packages on fly via library()

Hello!

I thought that installation of missing packages on fly via library()
would be a nice thing to have. Something like this:

if (missing(pkg) && getOption("installOnFly")) {
  install.packages(pkg, ...)
}

I did look into library() function to find appropriate place for code
similar to on above but library() it's massively long and I really don't
... you know.

Thanks for remarkable tool.

Lep pozdrav / With regards,
    Gregor Gorjanc
