Dear R Developers,
The documentation for "system2" only defines "args" as
args: a character vector of arguments to 'command'.
This encourages the reader to think that R's system2 interface is passing its
arguments unchanged to exec().
But I was surprised to find that under the hood, you'r

Dear R Devel,
I have been advised to use "options(error=recover)" to enable

stopifnot = function(b) { if(!b) { browser(skipCalls=1); } }
However, this doesn't do what I expected. On lookin
Dear R Devel,
I realized that I've been reading something without really thinking
about it. In "?matrix" we have:
byrow: logical. If 'FALSE' (the default) the matrix is filled by
columns, otherwise the matrix is filled by rows.
