• optimizeSubInts: fixed a bug where not enough subints where visited
• computeMode: internally uses data.table now and is therefore much faster
• Changed default from default.stringsAsFactors() to NULL in convertListOfRowsToDataFrame().

BBmisc 1.11

• convertToShortString now also prints the content of expressions, and prints NULL like

• The function checkArg is superseded by the package checkmate. Please use checkmate instead.
