drop zero slots from table?
Function
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sorted.table <- function (vec) {
tab <- table(vec)
tab <- tab[tab > 0]
sort(tab, decreasing=TRUE)
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
does what I want but it prints "vec" instead of the name of its
argument:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sorted.table(foo$bar)
vec A B 10 3 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- how do I pass all arguments of sorted.table() on to table() as is? thanks!

I am wondering if the "drop 0" (and maybe even sort?) can be effected by some magic argument to table() which I fail to discover in the docs? Obviously, I could use droplevels() to avoid 0 counts in the first place, but I do not want to drop the levels in the data.
