Line plots in base graphics

Am I missing something obvious on how to draw multi-line plots in
base graphics?

In ggplot2, I can do:

data(Oxboys, package = "nlme")
library(ggplot2)
 
qplot(age, height, data = Oxboys, geom = "line", group = Subject)

But in base graphics, the best I can come up with is this:

with(Oxboys, plot(age, height, type = "n"))
lapply(split(Oxboys[c("age", "height")], Oxboys$Subject), lines)

[quoting removed to fool gmane]

Am I missing something obvious?

reshape to wide format and matplot()?
