I can't help with your inquiry generally, but I can address the
issue of ``optional braces''.

I take it FUN = function(x, grp) quantile(x$DATA, names=FALSE) is the
function definition for a function called FUN. I would guess, then, that
the opening and closing braces are optional.  Is that correct?

        Yes.  This is correct.  If the body of the function doesn't
        need braces, you don't *have* to put them in.  (They never
        hurt, but.)  E.g.

        foo <- function(x) x^2

        works ``just as well as'' foo <- function(x){x^2}


        cheers,
