learning R
Thanks Berwin. You're correct in that I meant the R Language Definition. Well, it may be a draft but I read it for the first time a few months ago and it was very enlightening so, whether it's a draft or not, I highly recommend it. ( but not for total beginners. The R-intro is better for a more gentle introduction ).

David, Wacek: Just so everyone knows, I just looked and this is explained quite clearly in the R Language Reference manual, very similarly to what Wacek did below.
thanks, that's good, because i made it up following the page quoted by david, and if i'm flamed for nonsense, the langref has to be flamed too.
Actually, no. :) I do not remember the details, but I once tried to use the "R Language Definition" (I presume this is what we are talking about) to support my argument about some issue I had at that time. It was pointed out to me that the "R Language Definition" is a draft, hence not authoritative; and it seems its status of being a draft has not changed since. Cheers, Berwin
