Fair enough.
And it must get particularly hard when errors are generated at arms
length by ado files that call a user-written program. -nl- is another
one that can lead to hard-to-diagnose errors, as I know to my barber's
cost.
My colleague only has v10 so can't switch to -svy bootstrap-: adding
",*" to his syntax statement (until the bug in bs4rw is fixed) is a
small price to pay for that delinquency.
