This matter was raised in March: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2019-March/077457.html In principle, I agree. However, I'm not sure it's possible without causing compatibility problems. Not to mention all the disagreement about what's the correct approach. And I should probably apologize for incorrectly suggesting that there was a non-backward-compatible design flaw... ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
