I think this tension is a fundamental part of the character of S and R. But it is also fundamental to R that there are QC tests that apply to code in packages: so writing new tests that detect dangerous usage (e.g. to disallow partial name matching) would be another way to improve reliability.

Please not. :) After years of using of R, it is now second nature to me to type (yes, I always spell out "from" and "to") seq(from=xx, to=yy, length=zz) and I never understood why the full name of that argument had to be length.out. I would hate to see lots of warning messages because I am using partial matching. Cheers, Berwin
