Hi, I thought "..2 <- 1" was a correct way to modify the content of the 2nd level of dot-dot-dot because it did not return any error message. However, this appears to have no effect whatsoever on the content of dot-dot-dot. So, I guess I should modify my question to: is it possible to modify the content of dot-dot-dot by any means?
