The same test is duplicated AFAIU - maybe the second case should be let. Also, we should unset the .datatable.aware variable. Otherwise, once we add more tests which expect to be a data.table aware package, it will fail and cause some confusion. Another alternative is to evaluate it in a different environment context but I am not sure if that is necessary.

The easiest way to do it is just remove the variable (e.g., rm(.datatable.aware)).
