try(echo(
  expr = {
    print(1 + 1)
    df <- data.frame(a = 1:5, b = letters[1:5])
    print(df)
    message("hello!")
    warning("hello!")
    stop("error here")
  },
  level = 0
), silent = TRUE)
#> [2023-05-22 09:58:20] [EXP] print(1 + 1)
#> [2023-05-22 09:58:20] [OUT] #> [1] 2
#> [2023-05-22 09:58:20] [EXP] df <- data.frame(a = 1:5, b = letters[1:5])
#> [2023-05-22 09:58:20] [EXP] print(df)
