Hi all,

?quantile states:

   names: logical; if true, the result has a names attribute.  Set to
          ‘FALSE’ for speedup with many ‘probs’.

Unless I'm missing something entirely, the "set to FALSE for speedup" part 
appears to no longer apply. I could trace it back to the introduction of the 
auxiliairy function 'format_perc':

    format_perc() factored out of quantile.default()  + an RFC on "export"

I'm not sure if the intend is to modify the code to comply to the 
documentation, or the other way around. ;-) I'm willing to prepare a patch if 
informed.

HTH
