Change the Print Mode to Invisible

Description

Return a (temporarily) invisible copy of an object.

Usage

invisible(x)

Arguments

`x`	an arbitraryR object.

Details

This function can be useful when it is desired to have functionsreturn values which can be assigned, but which do not print when theyare not assigned.

This is a primitive function.
