Hi,

The text column for '->' becomes '<-' in the data frame returned by
getParseData():

getParseData(parse(text='1->x'))
   line1 col1 line2 col2 id parent        token terminal text
7     1    1     1    4  7      0         expr    FALSE
1     1    1     1    1  1      2    NUM_CONST     TRUE    1
2     1    1     1    1  2      7         expr    FALSE
3     1    2     1    3  3      7 RIGHT_ASSIGN     TRUE   <-
4     1    4     1    4  4      6       SYMBOL     TRUE    x
6     1    4     1    4  6      7         expr    FALSE

Is that expected?

It's by design, but I agree it's not ideal. The reason for it is that "1 -> x" is parsed as `<-`(x, 1). I think the parser only does translations like this for -> and ->>. Currently the parser shows the name of the binary operator as the text.

I'll look into adding special handling for translations like this. We will still parse the assignment in the same way, but the getParseData text could be the true text.
