In section "3.4.4 Subset assignment", the manual says this:
Complex assignments in the enclosing environment (using <<-) are also permitted:
names(x)[3] <<- "Three"
is equivalent to
`*tmp*` <<- get(x, envir=parent.env(), inherits=TRUE)
names(`*tmp*`)[3] <- "Three"
x <<- `*tmp*`
rm(`*tmp*`)
I think there are two typos here in the first line. I'm pretty sure
that it should read
`*tmp*` <- get("x", envir=parent.env(), inherits=TRUE)
i.e. regular assignment, and quoted variable name.
