Suppress package startup messages automatically

[olivroy]

I wonder if there was an option to suppress these types of messages automatically, either via an option that can be put in .Rprofile.
maybe :

options(reprex.startup = FALSE) 

or reprex::reprex(startup = FALSE)
I agree other warnings are useful, but these are really useless. It is also annoying and ugly to put suppressPackageStartupMessages() all the time.

By default, reprex does suppress the start messages for tidyverse packages:

library(tidyverse)

So it you get different behaviour, something in your setup, e.g. in .Rprofile, must be interfering with that.

You can read more about the reprex.tidyverse_quiet option in the docs:

I can't suppress startup messages in general because they aren't generally thrown with a class that allows selective suppression. I can do it for the tidyverse (and tidymodels) because tidyverse and tidymodels make this configurable.
