I R.utils, there are saveObject() and loadObject(), which allows you
to save and load objects without having to worry about their names.
For example:
library("R.utils");
x <- list(a=2, b=3:40, fcn=rnorm);
saveObject(x, "objs.Rbin");
Then later you can load the list object that 'x' held as whatever you
want, say, 'y', e.g.
library("R.utils");
y <- loadObject("objs.Rbin");
This way you don't "contaminate" the working environment with
variables named according to the file, which sometimes can be a
surprise (since you don't always know what the file contain). Except
from that it works just like save()/load().
