Dear R Developers, Adding to source() base function a Timer which indicates the execution time of the source code would be a very well welcome feature, and in my opinion not difficult to implement as an additional funtion argument. The source(timing = TRUE) function shall execute internally the following code for each statement: old <- Sys.time() # get start time at the beginning of source()

Is source() the right place for this? It may be, but we've had customers who would like this sort of thing done for commands entered by hand. And there are those who want a description of any "non-triivial" objects created in .GlobalEnv by each expression, ... Do they need a way to wrap each expression evaluated in envir=.GlobalEnv with a function of their choice, one that would print times, datasets created, etc.?
