I just found this other discussion, with some more snark (who would have
thought this subject would be so slippery!) :
https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17258
Duncan makes the argument that R's history shows the feature is not
absolutely necessary, but that's what make it a feature request and not a
bug report in my opinion. Feng makes the point that Python's history shows
that the feature is useful, and no counterpoint is made.
