What about reading a deck of punched cards with the cards statement in SAS? How do you propose to do that in R?
Actually, with the new text= argument to read.table in r-devel, it should be rather easy.... (given that you can find a card-punch and punched-card reader, of course). (And it's "datalines" nowadays, although everyone still uses "cards"...)
