Add an optional argument (key= ...) to as.data.table

[cooldome]

This is for convenience, a bit tired of writing:

dt = as.data.table(x)
setkeyv(dt, c("s1", "s2"))
dt

I would be much nicer to have

dt = as.data.table(x, key = c("s1", "s2"))

Thank you,
You are doing amazing work with data.table.

Thanks! Yes, this would be useful. Also in setDT probably.
