Well narrowly spoken I then still do the right thing as my 'source pkg: sm'
with 'binary pkg: r-cran-sm' does provide the 'command'
library(sm)
inside R.
There can't be another 'binary command' for the R language, but every R users
refers to this as 'sm'.
But I know what you really imply. I do get the 'letter' but not the 'spirit'
of this suggestion.
