On a related note.... is there a convention for cleaning up the detritus after running example(foo) I suppose sometimes users would like to have access to the objects that were created in the course of this, but perhaps more likely they would prefer that they were vaporized. I'm finding this also an issue in writing vignettes, but my main concern is finding a good way to handle this in writing .Rd files.
We tend only to clean up temporary objects, and the search path. As Tony says, users can call example() with local=TRUE, and the checking code tidies up after each help file. There are several examples of one help file calling example() on another and working further with the same objects.
