[R] grDevices::bringToTop is documented but not available: A bug?
It's a Windows-only function. It looks like revision r75103 moved it out of the Windows section of the help pages six years ago. Some other help pages were similarly moved, e.g. - ?windows and ?windowsFonts, document the functions as being Windows-only. - ?msgWindow and ?windows.options have the same issue as ?bringToTop. Maybe someone remembers the intention of that move...
