The documentation for glm/glm.fit indicates that the family argument "can
be a character string naming a family function, a family function or the
result of a call to a family function".
glm.fit(1, 1, family = "gaussian")
## Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
glm.fit(1, 1, family = gaussian)
## Error: object of type 'closure' is not subsettable
glm.fit(1, 1, family = gaussian()) # works, results omitted
