"function" as variable name - probably better error message
Hi The following code works as expected: list(plot="Not any more!") ,---- | > plot <- "Not any more!") | [1] "Not any more!" `---- But for this I get an error: ,---- | > function <- "Not any more!" | Error: unexpected assignment in "function <-" `---- The error message is quite cryptic and does not help much further. Would it be possible to provide a more useful error message in this case that (presumably) "function" is a reserved word? Along the same lines - is there a list of reserved words which can not be used in R as variable names (not even as elements in a a list())? This is not a huge problem, but it cost me a few minutes of figuring out. Thanks, Rainer
