R help - Jun 2002 - Please, explicitly quote the source of non-base functions

Sirs, 

No doubt many of the cerebral and erudite correspondents on the 
R-list have memorized all the functions in all the CRAN 
packages.

But for the benefit of those less competent, such as I, could 
posters explicitly quote the source of non-base functions? 

Lately, intervals() and chron() were discussed on the list, 
without clear mention that they live in packages `nlme' and 
`chron' respectively, and there have been many other examples.

Thanks, 

Steve Wisdom

Although this is certainly good advice, let me remind you (and
tell the newcomers) that, when people don't take this advice, you
can look up function is my R search page, below.
