If you want to write really confusing code it is possible to do:
`1` <- 2
`1` + 1
and things like that, but it is probably a good idea not to.
This is actually pretty simple, as the White Knight could tell you. `1`
is what the name of 2 is called. The name really is "2". It's called
"two", but that's only what it's called. It really is two.

Dear Duncan and Steve,
Since Steve's example raises it, I've never understood why it's legal to
change the built-in global "constants" in R, including T and F. That just
seems to me to set a trap for users. Why not treat these as reserved
symbols, like TRUE, Inf, etc.?
I rather enjoy being able to set
pi <- 3
:-)
cheers,
Rolf Turner
