do.call, browser and traceback
A problem that I've encountered when using do.call a lot is very large stack traces, eg: f <- function(x) stop() do.call(error, mtcars) traceback() f <- function(x) browser() do.call(f, mtcars) I have hacked together my own version of traceback to fix this by limiting the length of each line to 80 characters, but I can't see any way to do something similar for browser. Any suggestions? Thanks, Hadley
