Hadley, Any chance of changing fun.aggregate to FUN and value_var to value.var? aggregate(.., FUN, ...) acast(..., fun.aggregate, ...) cast(..., value.var) acast(..., value_var) Side note: My fantasy for R 3.0 would be to fix the obvious inconsistencies in function names/arguments, use Roxygen format for the documentation, change the egregious [ , , drop=TRUE] to FALSE and paste(..., sep=""), install packages on the fly, and improve consistency for functions dealing with colors (hex, 0-1, 0-255, etc).
Sounds like a dream ;-) Please add to that list dropping the
stringsAsFactors "feature" and fixing
c(factor(c("a", "b")), factor(c("c", "a"))).
Can you, please, post any such ideas for making S/R consistent, especially if it breaks backward compatibility, to the Aleph mailing list? Comments from non-R users that find R inconsistent are also welcome if they substantiate their claims. http://lists.rforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aleph-devel (If you have a better idea where to collect it in a single place, I'm all ear). I'd like to collect as many such ideas as possible so we don't forget something in unlikely case Aleph gets off the ground. :) Thanks, Simon
Thanks! H.

Hi all, Is there any chance that readRDS and saveRDS might one day become read.rds and write.rds? That would make them more consistent with the other reading and writing functions.
