Is there a standard function to generate messages like "longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length" but providing more information like the names of the objects?

For example, "a/b" issues, "Warning message: In a/b : longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length" if the length of one is not a multiple of the other. I want a utility to produce messages that include the lengths of "a" and "b" and other information.


If you were to write such a function, what would you include in it? Arguments? Values? Options?


I started creating "compareLengths.Rd" with \usage{compareLengths(x, y, name.x=NULL, name.y=NULL, Source='', compFun=c('length', 'NROW'), action=c(comparable='', incomparable='warning'), maxChar=20, ...)} and \value{A character vector of length 2. The first element is either 'equal', 'compatible' or 'incompatible'. The second element is the message composed for the desired "action".


      Thanks,
