## a good way to detect macOS:
if(grepl("^darwin", R.version$os)) message("running on macOS")

## Short R version string, ("space free", useful in file/directory names;
##                          also fine for unreleased versions of R):
shortRversion <- function() {
   rvs <- R.version.string
   if(grepl("devel", (st <- R.version$status)))
       rvs <- sub(paste0(" ",st," "), "-devel_", rvs, fixed=TRUE)
   gsub("[()]", "", gsub(" ", "_", sub(" version ", "-", rvs)))
