Dear list, I think I just stumbled across a bug in either 'relist()' and/or 'as.relistable()'. It seems that 'pairlists' can only be un- and relisted as long as they're not nested:
Good: a <- as.relistable(as.pairlist(list(a=1, b=2))) a <- unlist(a) relist(a)# Works Bad: a <- as.relistable(as.pairlist(list(a=1, b=2, c=list(c.1=1, c.2=2)))) a <- unlist(a) relist(a) The help page didn't say anything about pairlists and I don't know if they're at all relevant, but I'm using them whenever I want my functions to recognize a clear 'name-value' structure (e.g. for batch assigning variables) as opposed to standard list structures.
