Examples

# NOT RUN {
findbars(f1 <- Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject))
## => list( Days | Subject )
## These two are equivalent:% tests in ../inst/tests/test-doubleVertNotation.R
findbars(y ~ Days + (1 | Subject) + (0 + Days | Subject))
findbars(y ~ Days + (Days || Subject))
## => list of length 2:  list ( 1 | Subject ,  0 + Days | Subject)
findbars(~ 1 + (1 | batch / cask))
## => list of length 2:  list ( 1 | cask:batch ,  1 | batch)
# }
