Dear R developers, One of the error messages that make me loose the most time is the "undefined columns selected" of `[.data.frame`. It ought to specify the list of bad column names, but currently does not. Fortunately, this can easily be fixed by a small patch I can write. Are you interested in that patch?
I doubt if you'll get an answer to this without showing it to us.
Is there a standard way to transfer patches for feature requests?
The standard instructions are here: https://www.r-project.org/bugs.html . You're offering an enhancement rather than a bug fix, but the process is the same. But since your change is probably quite small, you might not need to go through the whole process: proposing it on this mailing list might be sufficient. Duncan Murdoch
