How do I test a new knitr engine in R?

Question

I forked knitr and am trying to add a new engine. Do I have to install my fork system-wide to see if it works with an RStudio notebook or can I run some R code directly to test the engine? I'd prefer not to overwrite the system knitr install.

See Yihui's response to

Conditionally display block of markdown text using knitr

He shows how to define a custom engine for an 'asis' chunk.

Got it. Thanks. It appears that you can add your own handler with knit_engines$set(). – THK Nov 21 '16 at 17:24
