Could someone explain the thinking behind the backtick notation in r-devel?
I think I understand that it can be used to refer to variable names which would otherwise not conform to R syntax; however, assign and as.name already allow you to do this. Is there more to it than that? Is backtick notation supposed to be analogous to backticks in the UNIX shell, the $ sign in perl or some feature in lisp/scheme? ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
