Is there a way of getting the argument list of a function from within that function? For example, something like f <- function(x, y = 3) { fargs <- getFunctionArgList() print(fargs) ## Should be `alist(x, y = 3)' } Thanks, -roger

I've never quite understood the documentation for the 'all' argument to 'merge'. I'm pretty sure using 'all = L' doesn't work but I'm open to correction here. In any event, I've attached a patch. -roger -- Roger...

I'm putting together a data package and am finding that I get enormous savings in space by using bzip instead of the usual gzip in save(). Is it safe to assume that for R versions, say >= 1.7.1...

I have a naive question here, but only because I've managed to screw this up twice in the last week. What is the correct way to reply to a bug report? Should r-bugs be in the To: or...

The following paragraph from ?pdf struck me as a bit odd: 'pdf' writes uncompressed PDF. It is primarily intended for producing PDF graphics for inclusion in other documents, and PDF-includers such as 'pdftex' are usually able to handle compression...
