Another wishlist for R

Note that `R base' could mean the base package or the R distribution, and 
I don't know which is meant.  Could one of you please clarify?

The base package in R-devel is much reduced, but these could be a 
candidates for the `utils' (or perhaps `tools') packages.

Utils, I'd say. That one that is loaded by default in an interactive
session, so that would be the place for "handy functions" like this.
If you have to say library(tools) first, they won't be handy enough.
