One final #caturday (or two) for our poor cancer-struck tiger. Once more in her favourite position paws on my right arm so that I won't type, and this time carefully inspecting the code on my screen.

Endorse! My studio was approximately two inches to the left of your screen, and the @ehess_fr / @amseaixmars lab at @vieillecharite another inch. Ahh those were them (twitter-free) days a quarter century ago ...

Well put. I *really* don't want to hear from your f*@#ing spammy predatory journal. So into the spam-filter repo it goes. Sadly I only control spamassassin for the home email...

Neat idea -- for my STAT430 course I had contemplated the 'pick a CRAN package and make something better' route as well but feared it would be too demanding. Hence very interesting and encouraging to see that it works for you.
In each course I teach, I assign a term project, in groups of 3-4. The topic this quarter was to choose a CRAN package and improve its speed by converting parts to C/C++. Several were really excellent; I've chosen this one to display (with permission), tinyurl.com/yyzmm477

The new 'options("conflicts.policy"=....)' in the upcoming R 3.6.0 will be very useful -- and this write-up by @LukeTierney4 is something many of us may come back to a number if times (as the section in `help(library)` in R-devel is rather brief).
Excellent stuff.
