R-alpha: Bug (since 0.50): get(name.of.expression) evaluates
This was not in 0.49 (when expressions where a different kind of objects).
get(..) does an extra eval(..) when it should not :
###-*- R -*- (cut and paste into R) ---------------------------
## rm(a) # if there is an 'a'
ex <- expression(a)
ex
#> expression(a)
get("ex") #--- should really just return `expression(a)'
...>>>>> Error: Object "a" not found
a <- pi
ex
# expression(a)
get("ex") #--- should really just return `expression(a)' ...
# [1] 3.141593
