Sorry, I shouldn't have used 'sum' as an example; I am looking for a solution
in the case of functions that do not result in simple vectors or matrices.
The "real-world" example is something like the following using the 'raster'
package, though (I think) any command producing an S4 object could be a
candidate:
r1 <- raster(system.file("external/test.grd", package="raster"))*1
r2 <- raster(system.file("external/test.grd", package="raster"))*2
obs=objects(pattern=glob2rx("r?"))
#Would like to generate the equivalent of...
stack(r1,r2)
...using a variation of obs as an argument to 'stack' (potentially very long).
Cheers,
Kevin
