feature request: localized here()

[torbjorn]

In our work we find ourselves (due to git submodules) needing to temporarily changing here() root when sourcing files.

Would a local_here( "/now/here", r_expression ) make sense? (and have r_expression being evaluated with here's root temporarily changed to said dir)

Wasn't sure to take this here (hah!) or to withr, but it sounds specific enough that it ought to go here I believe.

Thanks. The here package currently doesn't allow changing its perception of what it thinks the root of the project should be.

Am I reading this correctly that you have a main Git repo that contains several other projects that need to run both self-contained and as a submodule in the bigger repo? What would your use case of a local_here() or with_here() function look like? Would the i_am() function be of any use?
