Pack one file about pkglite HOT 3 CLOSED

So if you have one file, does it make more sense to use/exchange it as-is? Just a thought 🤔

Alternatively, you could build an R package for it, which (I know) is a huge ask sometimes... but that will almost surely make it more than two or three files.

It makes sense for experimentation and training purposes. If you are not inclined to add a few lines of code to fix the issue, could you consider adding an informative message or documenting the behavior?

Hmm, good question, but after some rethinking, I'm still going to say no, and here is my reasoning:

1. For experimentation and training purposes, any R package scaffolding tool such as usethis::create_package() that creates a proper package will create more than one file.
2. It's common sense that more that one file will be involved under the context of packing a proper R package, so emphasizing an expected behavior would sound a bit unnecessary to me.

Thanks for bringing this up, though!
