This seems like a conversation to have with the package's maintainer (Hadley), as suggested by the posting guide:

http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html
"If the question relates to a contributed package , e.g., one downloaded from CRAN, try contacting the package maintainer first."

and not R-devel.

Dear all,

Is there a reason, why there is no +-operator for aes (i.e. uneval) objects (as 
there is for themes and gg objects)? I had a couple of cases where such an 
operator would be useful, for instance to combine the result of aes and 
aes_string in functions. Any flaws with the following proposition:

  `+.uneval` <- function(e1, e2) {
   dup <- names(e1) %in% names(e2)
   if (any(dup)) {
     duplist <- paste(sQuote(names(e1)[dup]), collapse = ", ")
     msg <- sprintf(ngettext(length(dup),
                    "element %s occurs in both summands - second one gets 
precedence",
                    "elements %s occur in both summands - second one gets 
precedence"),
                    duplist)
     warning(msg, domain = NA)
   }
   res <- c(e1[!dup], e2)
   class(res) <- "uneval"
   res
}

Any thoughts on that?
