[R] Big, complex, well-structured .R file for demonstration?

[Jeff Newmiller]

Just because you have an editor that can let you see the organization within the file does not mean the code itself is well-structured. If you do put a lot of code in one file, you will be more likely in your next project that builds on this one to load code you do not need (bloat), and that is a very practical defect in the structure of the current project. Regardless of any arguments you can think of to the contrary, that is why single large files with otherwise well-structured code are uncommon.
