Now THAT's what I call an overloaded operator! ^_^
But seriously: can someone explain to me what's going on in the
rvalues.r code? I tried a simple experiment, replacing ":=" with a
"colec" in the code, and of course the line
c(df1, df2) colec list(4:8, 9:13)
just gives me a "syntax error" response. Clearly I need a pointer to
some documentation about how the colon and equals sign get "special
treatment somewhere inside R.
thanks
