 The `s3_register()` function comes from the vctrs package.
 If you don't have an organic need to depend on vctrs, it is common (and encouraged) to simply inline [the `s3_register()` source](https://github.com/r-lib/vctrs/blob/main/R/register-s3.R) into your own package.
+One way to do this is with `usethis::use_standalone()`:
+
+```r
+usethis::use_standalone("r-lib/rlang", "s3-register")
+```
+
 You can't always copy code from other people's packages and paste it into yours, but you can in this case.
 This usage is specifically allowed by the license of the source code of `s3_register()`.
 This provides a great segue into @sec-license, which is all about licensing.
