Josh Goldstein emailed me a nice tip for @r_data_table chaining: if we start a chained `data.table` operation inside a set of parens, we are no longer subject to the 'REPL constraint' and can keep each operation on a line. See ALT text. #rstats

@jrosell @r_data_table I had to squint a few times too before I believed it, and quite like it now. Odd that nobody (?) had come up with this before in all these decades (!!) with `data.table`. Credit and thanks to Josh.
