Pasting the entire example into RStudio and hitting return to evaluate
does not show this. Evaluating the finall line to print counttt
separately does.

Looks like RStudio is calling `[[` on your object when examining the
environment for the Environment panel. If this concerns you then you
should contact RStudio.

Best,
