This discussion has been exceedingly helpful, sort of.
Every time I try to do a task involving this I read the documentation
for bquote(), expression(), plotmath(), etc., over and over, and I
still fail to get the big picture of how R parses things under the
hood. Typically, I only succeed each time by frustrating trial and
error. Can I ask how you guys got a handle on the bigger (besides
your usual brilliance <G>)?
Is there more comprehensive documentation in the developer literature
or is there a user wiki that you would recommend for those who never
quite get the big picture? If not, this would be a worthy topic for
an R Journal article if someone has knowledge and the time to do it.
Wish I were knowledgeable enough to do it myself.
Amen. My experience/reaction exactly.
I think though that the concepts involved are really truly subtle and it may
be difficult for the brilliant guys to explain them in such a way that
those of
us who are less brilliant can understand them.
cheers,
Rolf
