Description
Hello,
this might help simplify things or gives different options in regards to section 1.3.2 Console messages.
I just came across this change in R-devel and it seems R4.6 will ship with a bit more verbosity control (https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/NEWS.html):
“… New logical option() quiet, defaulting to false, set to TRUE by R’s command-line option --quiet (and similar), now can be switched during an R session. Prompted by Dirk Eddelbuettel’s proposal in PR#18913.”
It is worth noting that there is already options("verbose") and soon there will be options("quiet").
It also work with R calling from the console R --vanilla --quiet see the discussion in the link to the pull request above.
Kind regards,
Klaus

Research direction
Review section 1.3.2, “Console messages,” alongside the linked R-devel NEWS entry and PR#18913. Determine whether the guide should mention the new options("quiet") behavior and its relationship to options("verbose") and R --vanilla --quiet; done means the section accurately reflects the relevant R console verbosity controls.
