Thanks for the quick replies from Richard Heiberger, Greg Show &
Bert Gunter.
Might it make sense to create as.character.call as an alias for
deparse?
A few years ago, I wrote several functions like "predict.fd" as
aliases for functions with less memorable names like "eval.fd". Doing
that made the "fda" package easier to use, at least for me ;-)
Thanks again,
Spencer

It looks like deparse does what you want here.

Hello, All:
Is there a simple utility someplace to convert "quote(x$y)" to "x$y"?
I ask, because as.character(quote(x$y)) is a character vector of
length 3 = "$" "x" "y". I want to convert this to "x$y" for a diagnostic
message.
class(quote(x$y)) = "call", which suggests I could write
"as.character.call" to perform this function. However, before I do, I felt
a need to ask for other thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Spencer
