This is exactly the same trip, I took. Nice to find that I'm not the only one 😁

This is great! So glue seems great for your example, and correct me publicly if I am wrong, but if the R bits you want to include are named objects, and potentially long ones, you lose the companionship and life-saving autocomplete benefits, right?

Do you pick and choose between glueing and paste(0)ing according to the task or has your coding adapted? Or back to option 1, I'm just plain wrong?

Alas, you do lose them, if you are typing inside a string.

So,

really_really_long_variable_name_that_is_complex

Wouldn't autocomplete in

glue::glue("{really_really_long_variable_name_that_is_complex}")

One workaround would be to cut/paste the variable name.

I don't really use paste0 anymore, unless I don't want to load glue for some reason :)
