Patch proposal for R style consistency (concerning deparse.c)

I second the change of "} else {".
Me too. Note that print.function() will screw it only if you use
useSource=FALSE:

   > print.function(foo3, useSource=FALSE)
   function ()
   {
     if (FALSE) {
         letters
     }
     else {
         LETTERS
     }
   }

Otherwise, everything is fine:

   > print.function(foo3)
   function()
   {
     if (FALSE) {
         letters  # some comment
     } else {
         LETTERS
     }
   }

I can't see of any reason why useSource=FALSE would screw my nicely
formatted 'if' statement though. This formatting is ugly, unnecessarily
uses 1 more line, and the 'if' statement cannot be copy/pasted into an
interactive session anymore. So, in a way, you could even consider
this is invalid code.

Thanks,
H.

OK, I concede that.

Now, how about "} else {"

I will provide patch that does only that change.
?

2 & 3. I want to omit space after if and for.   Since if and for are
functions in R, not keywords, I suggest that there should not be a
space before the opening parentheses.
Wrong. They are part of language constructs (and they _are_ keywords, not names, that's why ?for won't work). The function calls are `if`(fee, {foo}, {fie}) and something rebarbative for `for`(....).

Besides, both constructs are harder to read without the spaces.
