 On first sight this looks best. I installed the `lintr` package and it
 showed me useful output.

 > * [https://google.github.io/styleguide/Rguide.xml Google's R Style] on
 which many others build

 Might make sense to look into this more, because we're also using Google's
 Java style. But we need a tool.

 > * [https://github.com/rdatsci/PackagesInfo/wiki/R-Style-Guide Style
 Guide by rdatsci] building on Google's and two others linked from the doc.

 The part where I stopped reading was "Assignment operator: Use = instead
 of <- for assignments." Sorry, you're out.
