New slimmer R
Hi Everyone, I know that Kurt is thinking about slimming down the core functions of R and putting more stuff into libraries. I was wondering if, as a first step, thought had been given to re-organising the source code to separate out the S-language functionality from the base package functions. I am thinking in particular of the subdirectory src/main which contains both top-level files such as "memory.c" and base-package files such as "optim.c". Would it not be clearer to mount the base package entirely on src/library and so put the required C files into the subdirectory src/library/base/src (which currently does not exist)? Cheers, Jonathan.
