Here is an example of the losing names problem in stock R 2.2.0. Note that below, only stock R packages are loaded, and then I manually source in just my dtk.test.brace.names() testing function, nothing else.
Since the list-of-lists output of dtk.test.brace.names() is very lengthy, I've manually cut-and-pasted it into a tabular format to save space and make inspection easier. As you can see, out of its 15 test cases, stock R 2.2.0 fails 4 of them while the other 12 are Ok. Too see what these simple subscripting tests actually DO, please refer to the body of dtk.test.brace.names() from my previous emails above.
