(PR#7199) function bug
This is a misunderstanding, I think, not a bug. R is using partial matching and the `2', since it is not named, is being sent through the `...'. -roger

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.
