No it doesn't. It assumes (ultimately) that x[seq_len(n)] is the correct
way to generate a "head" of something. Which is reasonable. That's

FWIW topenv() is used in a couple of packages, although some of these
are false positives:

Indeed, that makes sense. Apparently the note wasn’t explicit enough
for me to make the connection.

The addition of significant stars was, in my opinion, one of the worst defaults
ever added
to R. I would be delighted to see it removed, or at least change the default.
It is one
of the few overrides that I have argued to add to our site-wide defaults file.

I have not yet checked all instances, but Henrik's suggestion is 3 for 3 so far.
Should I send notes to the packages in question, or will they get some from
CRAN?

Gabe described my main concern. Specifying a coercion function asserts that
the data (1) were what was expected and (2) were converted into what was
expected. Allowing a coercer to delegate to a "next method" is a good idea,
but keep in mind that any function that did that would not confer the

And it is used profusely by the methods package.

Dear all,
I agree with both Russ and Terry that the significance stars option should
default to FALSE. Here's what Sandy Weisberg and I say about significance
starts in the current edition of the R Companion to Applied Regression:
'If you find the “statistical-significance” asterisks th
I know I said that I had no further comments on object oriented semantics.
However, I found a contradiction in the R documentation.
