As the number of options has grown, I have found it harder and harder to
spot if a particular option is set, as well as to find descriptions in the
help file. Currently options() lists them in the order they were first
set.
I would find it much easier if the options were listed in alphabetical
It's reasonably easy to define an S3 class for vectors (e.g.,
"octonion") and then define operator methods (for all operators other
than matrix operators) to do what you want with that class. To do this
you need to define a function Ops.octonion. All of this is easily done
in pure R. I just w

Hi,
I just downloaded and installed last nights version of R-patched
and decided that I'd set R_BATCHSAVE=--no-save in config.site,
which I haven't done before.
Since the comment above R_BATCHSAVE in config.site says:

Hi
I thought it would be fun to develop R functionality for
the octonions (there is already some work on quaternions).
The octonions are an 8 dimensional algebra over the reals, so an
octonion
may nicely be represented as a real vector of length 8. Applications
are many and varied, mostly qu
