correct. Thank you. --> will be fixed in R-patched.
[ and effectively, the argument name, inherited from S, is a bit
of a misnomer for R : We don't draw the outliers as lines but
as pointsi, i.e., if we wouldn't want to be S-compatible we'd
have to name it 'outpoint' which I wouldn't like either, but
would rather use something like `out.draw' (TRUE : 'draw' outliers)
