Many thanks Duncan. Perhaps this merits a more explicit note in the documentation?
The quote I gave is from the documentation. How could it be more explicit?
This is unfortunately typical of the attitude of R-core people toward the documentation. ``It's clear.'' they say. ``It's explicit.'' Clear and explicit once you *know* what it's saying. Not before, but.
But I didn't say that. I asked how to make it more explicit.
Oh come on Duncan! You did *not*. You asked (rhetorical question) ``How could it be more explicit?'' (Implied: How could it ***possibly*** be more explicit?)
In this case the documentation is quite opaque to me, and I would suspect to a good many like me.
What change would make it less opaque?
For one thing, point out ***explicitly***, as you did in your post, that
getAnywhere() doesn't actually get ***anywhere***. Only some wheres.
(How's that for Canuck English, Berwin?)
cheers,
Rolf
