I'm trying to debug something with my knitr file and I need to run knit interactively.

To make sure all my targets are available, I'd like to do something like:

e <- make_environment(list_targets())

This however doesn't quite work because list_targets also returns the target files.

Would it make sense to add an argument to list_targets so it only returns R object targets?

I'm happy to submit a PR if you think it would be useful.

See the type argument to list targets, in particular list_targets(type="object")

Perfect, sorry for the noise...
