### Description

Not for use by users. Exported only for use by IRkernel (Jupyter) and knitr.

### Usage

### Arguments

`x` | A `data.table`.

### Details

Should IRkernel/Jupyter print a data.table returned invisibly by DT[,:=] ? This is a read-once function since it resets an internal flag. If you need the value more than once in your logic, store the value from the first call.
