Attached is a patch with suggestions for the R-lang manual at r64277. Below are a few comments (some are implemented in the patch): In the section "Objects", there is a table introduced by "The following table describes the possible values returned by typeof". One of the results is "any". Can "any" be returned by "typeof()" ? Regarding the "Recycling rules" section, -One exception is that when adding vectors to matrices, a warning is not -given if the lengths are incompatible. - at c Is that a bug? - was this a bug that was fixed? I see the following behavior:
myvec <- 1:3 mymat <- matrix(1:12, ncol=2) myvec <- 1:5 myvec + mymat
[,1] [,2] [1,] 2 9 [2,] 4 11 [3,] 6 13 [4,] 8 15 [5,] 10 12 [6,] 7 14 Warning message: In myvec + mymat : longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length
Regarding -The arguments in the call to the generic are rematched with the -arguments for the method using the standard argument matching mechanism. -The first argument, i.e.@: the object, will have been evaluated. - this information is duplicated.

The patch still applies cleanly (one offset) on r65090. Best, Scott -- Scott Kostyshak Economics PhD Candidate Princeton University
