This is an attempt to rescue an old R-help question that apparently
received
no response from the oblivion of collective silence, and besides I'm
also
curious about the answer

Constructing lists with
list(name1=name1, name2=name2, ...)
is tedious when there are many objects and names are long. Is there
an R
function that takes a character vector of object names as an
argument and
returns a list with each objected tagged by its name?
The idiom
lapply(ls(pat = "^name"), function(x) eval(as.name(x)))
makes the list, but (ironically) doesn't assign the names to the
components.
