typetracer: Trace Function Parameter Types
The 'R' language includes a set of defined types, but the language
itself is "absurdly dynamic" (Turcotte & Vitek (2019)
<doi:10.1145/3340670.3342426>), and lacks any way to specify which types are
expected by any expression. The 'typetracer' package enables code to be
traced to extract detailed information on the properties of parameters
passed to 'R' functions. 'typetracer' can trace individual functions or
entire packages.
