When running 'R CMD check' for a package that contains the symbol '%'
in the signature of a function (say the default parameter for a string argument
is like "10% - 20%"), the 'codoc' part of the check throws a warning
about mismatching doc and codoc.

While the '%' has apparently to be escaped in the .Rnw (otherwise latex soon
figures out that what is after on the same line is a comment), the warning
remains
whether or not '%' is escaped in the code.

The package 'splicegear' in Bioconductor (in the section "devel") is what
brought
me to submit a bug report.
