Hi,
In some cases the number of arguments passed as ... must be determined
inside a function, without evaluating the arguments themselves. I use
the following construct:
dotlength <- function(...) length(substitute(expression(...))) - 1L
# Usage (returns 3):
dotlength(1, 4, something = undefined)
How can I define a method for length() which could be called directly on
`...`? Or is it an intention to extend the base length() function to
accept ellipses?
Regards,
Denes
