Usage

data %$% expr
data %$$% expr

df <- data.frame(a = 1:7,
                 b = 7:1)

  ab <- a + b
  a2b2 <- a^2 + b^2
})
df

df <- data.frame(a = 1:7,
                 b = 7:1)
df <- Within(df,{
  ab <- a + b
  a2b2 <- a^2 + b^2
})
df


df <- data.frame(a = 1:7,
                 b = 7:1)
df

ds <- as.data.set(df)

}
df

  ab <- a + b
  a2b2 <- a^2 + b^2
