Description

https://klmr.me/box/

This R package seems like it COULD be a very suitable answer to our pacta.* vs worfklow.* conundrum...

It is more or less a "superset" of R packages, that loosen some of the R packages conventions up, and allow modules to be loaded from different directories in the project.

It is in version 1.2.0 which may suggest that the developers believe it to be stable enough for a first release.

I am hesitant to incorporate new/ semi-experimental topics into our standard project structures, but since workflow.*s are a bit of a "wild west" anyway, ¯_(ツ)_/¯ could be interesting.
