R Tip: Use qc() For Fast Legible Quoting

Here is an R tip. Need to quote a lot of names at once? Use qc().

This is particularly useful in selecting columns from data.frames:

library("wrapr")  # get qc() definition
head(mtcars[, qc(mpg, cyl, wt)])
#                    mpg cyl    wt
# Mazda RX4         21.0   6 2.620
# Mazda RX4 Wag     21.0   6 2.875
# Datsun 710        22.8   4 2.320
# Hornet 4 Drive    21.4   6 3.215
# Hornet Sportabout 18.7   8 3.440
# Valiant           18.1   6 3.460

Or even to install many packages at once:

install.packages(qc(vtreat, cdata, WVPlots))
# shorter than the alternative:
#  install.packages(c("vtreat", "cdata", "WVPlots"))
