Package names
Hadley Wickham writes:
Currently, writing R extensions states: "The ?Package? and ?Version? fields give the name and the version of the package, respectively. The name should consist of letters, numbers, and the dot character and start with a letter. "
Now that _ is no longer an assignment operator, could it be added to this list?
This would make it trickier to parse PACKAGE_VERSION.tar.gz et al file names, and break lots of code based on this naming scheme. -k
