Dear Michael ?
This is _very_ interesting and I want to play around with the functions you
suggest. I had no idea it was so easy to define assignment operators.
However, one question: even after reading the ?get? documentation and doing
a bunch of mousing around for the expressions ?pos? and ?the search path?, I
am not sure what function the numeral 1 in these expression serves. Why do I
want to look in the global environment rather than the current environment?
I also can not find anything that explains what the default ?pos = -1? does.
Thanks for responding!
