I'd rather say that it is good reason to use spaces around operators. Makes the code easier to read too. (_Possible_ to read for some.)
We've probably all done it. I did, once upon a time in S-Plus, on the results of a multi-day simulation study: > <<nontrivial analysis>>$statistic [1] -1.28 > sim <- sapply(1:10000, <<simulated nontrivial analysis>>$statistic) . . leave running . > mean(sim<-1.28) # get empirical p-value [1] 1.28 ??!?...
