Description
Activity

Having an exported version of
[.data.table(via dtquery) would be helpful for attempts to extend data.table without running afoul of warnings about using:::in packages.Reacted by Jan Gorecki@jangorecki, this will be closed with #4304, or is it completely different? This SO examples linked seem to point to it serving the same purpose.
not really
Reacted by avimalluIINM this is duplicate of #4872 which now has much more traffic; closing this one
