Recursively walk the formula performing the replacement:
g <- function(e, ...) {
if (length(e) > 1) {
if (identical(e[[2]], as.name(names(list(...))))) {
e <- eval(e, list(...))
}
if (length(e) > 1) for (i in 1:length(e)) e[[i]] <- Recall(e[[i]], ...)
}
e
}
g(f, lambdas = 2:3)
## y ~ qss(x, lambda = 2L) + qss(z, 3L) + s
