c.noquote() weirdness
Yes, it is misusing the ... argument to NextMethod. The first two arguments to c() match the first two arguments to NextMethod, the rest are set as additional arguments. Will fix for 2.7.1RC shortly. Thanks for the report.

I haven't been able to get anywhere tracking this down. It seems that c.noquote() does something strange with its third (and subsequent) parameters: R-2.7.0 under NetBSD, R-2.6.0 under Solaris, and R-2.8.0 (unstable) (2008-06-10 r45893) under WinXP, I get:
c(noquote('z'), 'y', 'x', '*')
[1] z y x * x *
or:
c(noquote('z'), 'y', '***', letters)
[1] z y *** a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p [20] q r s t u v w x y z *** a b c d e f g h [39] i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
Again, I am only the messenger (so don't shoot me :-)). Regards, Ray Brownrigg
