Minor edit to R-ints doc will be needed for R-2.15.2: axis() no longer uses .Internal()

Hello,

The second paragraph of Chapter 2: .Internal vs .Primitive of R-ints
uses axis() as an example of a function that uses .Internal(). Here's
the quote:
As of R-2.15.2, though, this will no longer be true; as noted in the
Code Migration section of R-devel NEWS file:
So, a different example may be needed.

(Please let me know if a message of this type is better directed
somewhere else, or if it should wait until after some milestone in the
development cycle.)

Thanks,

Josh

Not for 2.15.2 (which is not even mentioned in that file but will 
include the changes for 2.15.1 patched): that section of NEWS is about 
R-devel.
Yes, when R 2.16.0 is in its alpha/beta test period.  You are commenting 
on a change (code migration) that is still in progress. Manuals are 
reviewed once a R 2.x.0 version goes into feature-freeze.
