Re: [R] Return variable assignments from a function

I still think that fortune(181) applies here. Someday you (or another user that you give your function to) will run this, then realize that you/they had an A, B, or c variable that has just been overwritten that you/they wanted to keep. (also 'c' is one of the variable names recommended agains
