str(base::`+`)
function (e1, e2)
plus <- structure(base::`+`, class = "plus")
str(plus)
function (e1, e2)
Even without assigning to `plus`, you get this behavior:
$ R --vanilla
structure(base::`+`, class = "plus")
function (e1, e2) .Primitive("+")
attr(,"class")
[1] "plus"
# Hmm...
str(base::`+`)
function (e1, e2)
- attr(*, "class")= chr "plus"
Looks to be the case for common (all?) .Primitive functions. Is this
expected? Should I report this one to BugZilla?
