Two ideas / feature requests for R CMD check

We all love R CMD check. :) In my opinion it would be even better if
it had options to

- Run all checks, even if one fails with an error. I realize this
sometimes might not make sense (e.g. if there is no DESCRIPTION file),
but often does.

- Run all examples even if an example fails. I think it would be great
to get all failing examples at once, so that a package author can
estimate the amount of breakage.

Thank you for considering there,
Gabor

Hi All,

One thing that I've encountered with R CMD check is that if your package
uses some functions from a base package, then the corresponding NAMESPACE
imports do not seem to be automatically suggested. It might possibly an
issue with how one's system is configured, but say, with the --as-cran
switch this thing should be picked up on.

Like I felt this was something else that could be looked into :)

Thanks!
Mohit
