Nice tool, Yihui! I noticed a few more cases in which it doesn't work:

1. In some places R expects a comma after an item. If you put a line of comment there, it gets converted to invisible(...) without a trailing comma and breaks the formatter. E.g.:

x <- c(
  # a is not used
  a = 0
)

2. Sometimes R doesn't accept the ( after invisible, e.g., if you have a comment inside a function declaration like this:

x <- function(
  # First argument does nothing
  a = 1
) {
  0
}

That's the same issue as yihui/formatR#103
