[R-pkg-devel] [External] circular suggested packages

[Thierry Onkelinx]

The goal of opencv is to provide bindings to 'OpenCV' Computer Vision
Library. Hence a much wider scope than just reading qrcodes. qrcode just
focusses creating different qrcodes. The fact that they can use each other
to test themselves is a happy coincidence.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
