wBoot Package
This could possibly be a botched attempt at telling "the system" that one could use proportion() as synonymous with mean(). That would obviously fail due to scoping rules, but maybe an earlier version used <<- (?). Anyways, you could take the hint: proportions are just means of 0-1 variables...

The code in the function you are asking about does begin with:
{
proportion <- mean
However, that named entity, `proportion`, is never referenced in code that follows, so it appears that the package author started down one path and then abandoned that line of code and did something else.
