Okay, I see, there is no really "easy" way (I was wondering whether I
can set an environment as default for new created variables). Is there
any difference if I call
myenv$myvar <- 10

assign("myvar",10, env=myenv)
?
No. And with(myenv, myvar <- 10) is also the same. However, you do have
to be careful with
with(myenv, myvar <- x) vs. myenv$myvar <- x because it might be
different "x".
It's a little unfortunate that
with(myenv, myvar <- x)
works when myenv is an environment but not a list, while
mylist <- within(mylist, myvar <- x)
works when mylist is a list but not an environment. Is this something
that should be fixed?
