Given the emergence of the idea of Tidy API's, which encourages use of the pipe, could it be useful to provide a function use_pipe() that would create a pipe.R file like this? h/t @ramnathv here.

I see the plus side as making it easier to use "your" package functions not having to load magrittr explicitly.

I see a drawback (potentially) if every package exports the pipe, could that be messy/problematic? (Honestly, I don't know.)

Thoughts?

I like it. As far as I know, there are no problems with everyone re-exporting the pipe.

Also it might be worthwhile to let this simmer for a bit, with the aim of eventually becoming use_tidyverse() or similar.
