Hi,
I'm trying to track down any references for the implementation of
pretty (or grid.pretty) in R. Is it original work?

I've run into a bit of strange problem with implicit vs explicit

use rm/assign/get/eval/... to circumvent your replaced functions. I
think it would be very difficult (if not impossible) to prevent this
