function bug (PR#7199)

This is _not_ a bug.  Please read `R Language Manual', section 4.3.2 (as
well as the R FAQ on what constitute a bug).

The following code prints [1] 2, as it should

temp<-function(ab,...){
print(ab)
}
temp(2,s=3)

However, this code prints [1] 3:

temp<-function(sb,...){
print(sb)
}
temp(2,s=3)
 
It should still print [1] 2. It appears 
that if a variable in ... begins with the same letter as 
another variable, 
the value in the variable in ... overwrites the value in the 
variable with 
the same first letter.

I didn't see this bug reported elsewhere.
