Aliasing a function
formals can be used like this: f <- g formals(f) <- pairlist(a=1,b=2,c=3)

A simple way to alias a function is to do : g <- function(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3) a + b * c f <- function(...) g(...) but formals (etc) is no longer very helpful. Is there an easy way to programmatically create: f <- function(a=1, b=2, c=3) g(a=a, b=b, c=c) This comes up in ggplot2 where I alias many functions to hide the fact that I'm using proto in the background, and I'd like the aliased functions to be a little more user friendly in terms of revealing what are valid arguments (and also to match up with the rdoc files which I am building). Any ideas? Thanks, Hadley -- http://had.co.nz/
