Here is an example from RcppArmadillo which only needs and uses Matrix to
create some sparse matrices for tests. If Matrix were not present, the test
exists at line 20.
https://sources.debian.org/src/r-cran-rcpparmadillo/0.10.2.2.0-1/inst/tinytest/test_sparse.R/
(This used to use RUnit, but I moved most of my packages to tinytest, and
recently talked about tinytest at the BioConductor Developer Forum if you're
curious, there is now a video in the BioC YouTube channel).
Best, Dirk
