GAMs under R?

I was just now surprised to note that functions to go generalized additive
models don't appear to exist under R 1.000.  In particular, the gam() and
loess() functions aren't there.  Are they hidden somewhere and I just
haven't noticed?

Lots of people have pointed out loess().  For many purposes you can use
regression splines (ns() and bs() in library(splines)) and glm() to get
smooth functions of predictors.
