Thanks for the explanations of the internals. I understand about the 'redefining log' problem in the interpreter, but I wasn't aware of the NAMED counter. In both cases, beyond static analysis, dynamic Java compilers do a pretty good job, but I don't know if Java bytecodes are suitable for R, and if they are not, it would be a lot of work to duplicate the analysis for an R compiler.
