Hi, Please consider the following:
e <- new.env()
delayedAssign("p", quote(expr = ), assign.env = e)
e$m <- quote(expr = )
identical(e$m, e$p)
[1] TRUE
get("p", e)
get("m", e)
Error in get("m", e) : argument "m" is missing, with no default
Although objects m and p are identical(), get() behaves differently for them (in R version 4.2.1). Is this intended?
I stumbled across this in the context of utils:::print.ls_str(), which fails when encountering a promise to the missing arg:
ls.str(e)
m : <missing> p : Error in inherits(o, "error") : argument "o" is missing, with no default Best, Andreas
