globals: Identify Global Objects in R Expressions

Identifies global ("unknown" or "free") objects in R expressions by code inspection using various strategies (ordered, liberal, conservative, or deep-first search). The objective of this package is to make it as simple as possible to identify global objects for the purpose of exporting them in parallel, distributed compute environments.
