But since you have no way to force people to use your new 'standard' operators, people can and will still use any of those myriad ways you decry to do the same thing. It's part of the price you pay for working with a flexible system. Besides, nothing will ever make it easy to read other people's code. :-) Jeff ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
