Automatic reshaping based on line lengths?

[multimeric]

It's a fairly big need to have an R tool that automatically fixes excessive line lengths, especially if you have a large code base which is failing the bioconductor checks because you have line lengths > 80. Styler, which is probably the most common automated styling package, doesn't implement an automatic line-length fixer, probably because it hasn't implemented the exact algorithm you have here. Had you considered either:

• Implementing a simple algorithm that takes a line length and walks through the files in a project, and runs reshape on any line that exceeds this limit, or
• Contributing an integration to styler so that it can use your reformatting as part of their automated styling?

Just an aside regarding "failing the bioconductor checks because you have line lengths > 80" - this isn't a strict requirement of Bioconductor but just a suggestion/recommendation.
