To me, it seems that these should be the same value. I'll record this on

this is the case.

One piece of feedback that I received at useR was that the assertive
package is getting too big, and should be broken down into smaller
pieces.
I want to split the functionality into assertive.base,
assertive.types, and a few others, then have the assertive package as
a virtual package (suggestion
The suppressMessages and suppressWarnings functions currently suppress
all the message or warnings that are generated by the input
expression.
The ability to suppress only specific messages or warnings is
sometimes useful, particularly for cases like file import where there

Two solutions:
1. Use the wrapper function is_existing_file in assertive.
2. Use standardize_path in pathological before you call file.exists.

It seems that under Windows, some UTF-8 strings that print OK to
stdout do not print correctly to stderr. To reproduce:

Capturing messages works as expected:

The rep function is very versatile, but that versatility comes at a
cost: it takes a bit of effort to learn (and remember) its syntax.
This is a problem, since rep is one of the first functions many
beginners will come across. Of the three main uses of rep, two have
simpler alternatives.

When a PSOCK cluster (maybe other cluster types too) is created by the
parallel package, an Rscript process is spawned for each node. At
least by default, the Rprofile.site file is read for each node that is
created, which can constitute the majority of the time to create a
cluster. See:

If you set the names in a list, some cat-style processing seems to
happen. For example, backslashes are modified. This behaviour
doesn't happen with atomic vectors. Compare, for example:

## 1
setNames(list(1), "a\\b")
## $`a\b`
## [1] 1

What I'm running
Is there a complete list somewhere of the possible values for R's
status, as returned by version$status?
I know about these values:
Stable: ""
Devel: "Under development (unstable)"
Patched: "Patched"
Release candidate: "RC"
Alpha: "Alpha"
Are there any others that I've missed?

Thanks for this. You are right that it's a lowercase "a"; the
documentation on the R.Version help page is incorrect. That describes
status as 'the status of the version (e.g., "Alpha")'.

It seems that there are speed issues when printing to the R console from a
tcl/tk GUI.
Here are functions to write a lot of output, and to display how long it
takes.
printsalot <- function(n)
{
for(i in 1:n) cat(i, fill = TRUE)
}
timings <- function(n = 1e3)
{
print(system.time(printsalot(n)
Even for an extremely simple instance of a reference class
x <- setRefClass("x")
y <- x$new()
calling the internal inspect function
.Internal(inspect(y))
produces enough output that it takes several minutes to print to the
console. (Actually I gave up and terminated the command after ~10
mins.
If I want to assign some variables into an environment, it seems
natural to do something like
e <- new.env()
within(e,
{
x <- 1:5
y <- runif(5)
}
)
This throws an error, since within.environment doesn't exist. I
realise I can work around it using

In R2.7.1, the first line of the body of png() reads:
checkIntFormat(filename)
This should really be:
if (!checkIntFormat(file))
stop("invalid 'file'")
Otherwise a command such as png("foo%s.png") causes R to crash (see bug
