suggests: Declare when Suggested Packages are Needed
Description
By adding dependencies to the "Suggests" field of a package's DESCRIPTION file, and then declaring that they are needed within any dependent functionality, you can often significantly reduce the number of "hard" dependencies (i.e. Depends/Imports) required by your package.
suggests aims to make that workflow as minimal and painless as possible,
primarily via the need()
function, which provides a lightweight, simple,
speedy way to prompt your users to install missing suggested packages.
