I am uncertain about how to acknowledge the fact that $ can do partial
matching in the space of about 30 characters.  One option is this:

x[["name"]]       column named "name"
x$name           same as above (almost always)

How about "as above (with partial matching)"?

If it is still too long, "with" could be abbreviated, "matching" could be match:

"as above (w. partial match)"

Is that better or worse than ignoring this issue, or is there an even
better phrasing?

As per the other suggestions, I fixed the matrices indexing info,
pkg::foo() now has "not usually required"; and <<-  now is explained
as "Left assignment in outer lexical scope; not for beginners"

Plus, I've been able to get in touch with Tom Short. :-)

Thanks to Jeff Newmiller,Dennis Murphy, and Peter Dalgaard for these
helpful suggestions and corrections!
