R 3.1.0 OS XColleagues, I recently updated to 3.1.0 and I have encountered Warning messages: ... Name partially matched in data frame when I do something like: DATAFRAME$colname where colname is actually something longer than that (but unambiguous). I have much appreciated the partial matching capabilities because it fits with my workflow. I often receive updated data months after the initial code is written. In order to keep track of what I did in the past, I provide lengthy (unambiguous) names for columns, then abbreviate the names as I call them. This behavior has been termed “lazy” in various correspondence on this mailing list but it works for me and probably works for others. I realize that the new message is only a warning but it is a minor nuisance. Would it be possible to add an option(partialMatch=TRUE) ## default is FALSE or something similar to suppress that behavior? That should keep both camps happy.
I'd be much happier with a general mechanism to suppress particular warnings. Then you could choose to suppress this one.
We might be able to do that with options("warning.expression"), but I don't see how...
