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:
Functions using .Internal() wrapped in a closure are in general preferred as this ensures
standard handling of named and default arguments. For example, axis is defined as
axis <- function(side, at = NULL, labels = NULL, ...)
.Internal(axis(side, at, labels, ...))
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:
The C code underlying base graphics has been migrated to the graphics package
(and hence no longer uses .Internal() calls).
So, a different example may be needed.
