I would propose to add "
See also:
`nchar' for counting the number of character in
character vectors.
"
to the helpfile of length(),
because it is rather difficult
to find nchar() if one has only
search terms as "length", "len",
"strlen" in mind.

THAT'S how you find the length of a string?!! *smacks forehead* I ended up doing a regex for /$^/. Man, I feel stupid.
