tinycodet 0.4.0

• Clarified in the documentation that %col~% and %row~% strip attributes.
• Clarified the usage of merge = FALSE for pattern charclass,
  in the documentation of the stri_locate_ith() function.
• Clarified in the documentation that locked objects are not protected from modification by reference.
• Clarified in the documentation of 'stringi' pattern searching infix operators that the p argument can also be a character vector of length 1.
• Clarified in the stri_locate_ith() documentation that one should not pass the capture_groups argument; also clarified how to capture the ith group using stri_locate_ith(). And clarified that stri_locate_ith() does not support long vectors.
• Normalized the links in the "See Also" sections in the documentation.
• Renamed the "str_truth" page to "str_search", as that makes a little more sense.
• Removed the redundant stringi:: piece in the example code for import_LL().
• The help file for the s_pattern functions is now actually titled "s_pattern".
• The messages returned by import_as() when aliasing packages is now slightly less verbose: removed the line "Methods work like normally", and replaced the line "Importing packages ..." with "Importing packages and registering methods...".
• The strcut_brk() function now includes the tolist argument to return a list. Moreover, the n argument may now also be specified (n = -1L by default).
• More safety checks: Improved safety against malformed conditions in the transform_if() function. stri_locate_ith() now gives a warning when an empty string or pattern is given. The help.import() function now gives an error if neither topic/package nor i/alias is supplied, instead of just silently doing nothing. The %sget% and %strim% operators now give an explicit error message if the arguments do not have proper lengths.
• Internal Re-write: stri_locate_ith() has now been partially re-written, and now includes 'C++' code, making it a bit faster. Also cleaned up the internal code for some other functions here and there.
• Added dependency: 'Rcpp' is now added as an dependency, due to the aforementioned partial re-write in 'C++'.
• New Features: Added %ss% to the collection of string arithmetic operators, and added the strfind()<- method to the string search operators.
  One can now supply the at argument in the list of the right-hand side for the %s{}% operator. Supplying at = "start" will check if the pattern appears at the start of a string. Supplying at = "end" will check if the pattern appears at the end of a string.
• Optimization: Managed to optimise stri_locate_ith() even further. Optimised the 'subset_if' operators a bit more. Also optimised the %n&%, %sget%, %strim%, and %=strtype% operators a bit more.
• Argument change: The s_pattern functions now wrap additional arguments in a list for the user, in case of using vector arguments, preventing potential confusion.
• Argument change: The type argument in stri_locate_ith_boundaries() is now not a mandatory argument; one can now also supply it through stri_opts_brikiter(), to keep it more consistent with the rest of 'stringi'.
• Tests: Improved the tests for the s_pattern operators. Added tests for stri_locate_ith() when using argument merge = FALSE. Added more error check tests for help.import(). Added tests for unequal vector sizes for the logic operators. Added tests for empty condition subsets for transform_if(). Added tests for the new functionalities introduced in this version. Added tests for malformed 'stringi' pattern searches in all relevant functions.
• Bug fix: There was a small bug where s_coll() worked properly when assigned to an object (as usual), but not when called directly (like nested inside a function). This is now fixed.
