There should also be a way to export options(), par() etc. #29

Problem

There should also be a way to export options(), e.g.

options(width=60)
a %<=% {   getOption("width") 
 }

will return the (default) 80, and not the set 60, because options are currently not exported. Same with par() options etc.

Workaround

Currently one needs to explicitly set the options as in.

options(width=60)
a %<=% {
  options(width=60)
  getOption("width") 
}

Action

This is a trick one, because it could be that we do not want to export all possible options, e.g. BatchJobs options(?!?).

This issue should be moved to the future package.
