Hi all,
The help for delayedAssign suggests that you can use substitute to
access the expression associated with a promise, and the help for
substitute says: "If it is a promise object, i.e., a formal argument
to a function or explicitly created using ‘delayedAssign()’, the
expression slot of the promise replaces the symbol.
But this doesn't seem to work:
> a <- 1
> b <- 2
> delayedAssign("x", {message("assigning..."); a + b})
> substitute(x)
x
> x
[1] 3
Is this a bug in substitute?
