[Rd] Petition to set warnPartialMatch* options to TRUE

[Therneau, Terry M., Ph.D.]

Let me give partial assent to Michael's suggestion:  a) have an easy way to turn this on 
and b) add a strong suggestion to do so to the WRE manual. Kurt's example in the email 
shows how to do (a);  but I just looked in the WRE manual and don't see any reference to 
it, nor any mention from R CMD check --help, so I don't know where I would have found out 
about it.

I have gotton warnings about partial matches from CRAN  wrt the survival package --- I 
suspect at the benefit of Kurt  --- and though I muttered under my breath about it at the 
time there is no doubt that it was a good idea to fix all of them, and I'm glad for the nudge.

Kurt: does that envionment variable contain the options string itself, or does it point to 
a file containing the options?

I appreciate partial matching when typing code at the terminal so want the feature to 
remain in that context.
