I think this produces a nice display:
> tail.function
function (x, n = 6) {
lines <- matrix(deparse(x),ncol=1)
rownames(lines) <- 1:nrow(lines)
colnames(lines) <- ''
noquote(tail(lines,n=n))
}
> tail(plot.default)
36 box(...)
37 if (ann)
38 title(main = main, sub = sub, xlab = xlab, ylab = ylab,
39 ...)
40 invisible()
41 }
Unfortunately, I doubt if people would really want the result to be a
matrix, so maybe a new class is what is needed.
