[R] cleaning up after example()

[Anne York]

The example() and demo() functions are very useful and they do
clutter up workspaces. 

For that reason, I run them (usually, I remember to do is)  in
a demo  workspace.  That way, I don't care about the objects or saving them
etc. This makes cleaning up unnecessary.

Subject: [R] cleaning up after example()

Dear R-help,

I find the example() function is extremely useful in many ways.  However,
there's a minor inconvenience: for long examples, it leaves lots of objects
in the workspace.  While it's sometimes useful to have the objects around
for further exploration, other times they just add to the clutter.  Does
anyone have a good way of cleaning up afterward?  If not, would R core
consider adding such a feature?

Cheers,
Andy
