package load altering RNG state
....seed, new.seed)
[1] FALSE
I ask because, I found myself writing a custom wrapper around library()
to restore the original RNG state, in order to increase reproducibility.
But now wondering if others would welcome such a feature to be added to
base R? Either something very general like
preserveRNGstate(library(parallel))
or perhaps an specific enhancement to library itself?
Regards

I would very much welcome a change, but in the light of things it
doesn't seem likely.
