one thing it won't support, based on an earlier conversation with Mark
Waddingham: R-style arguments (similar in many respects to CSS values).
In R, things like the plot command have reasonably-useful defaults, so
that you can just pass in data with nothing else and get a useful result.
That's a great shame. Named parameters is one of my favourite features
in Python too, so I was hoping we'd see it in LC.
<tongue in cheek>
Do you think there's any hope that Mark's objection is to the use of the
'=' sign - as in,
plot(cars, type="o", col="blue", ylim=c(0,12))
Maybe he'd let us have
plot (cars, type is "o", col is 'blue', etc.)
