The following is a bug or mis-design in help(package=):
> showhelp <- function(packageName) help(package=packageName)
>
> showhelp("utils")
Error in .find.package(pkgName, lib.loc, verbose = verbose) :
none of the packages were found
The problem is that it calls library(help=) with argument
"packageName"
instead of "utils". Unlike library(), it has no character.only
argument
to force interpretation of the packageName as a character vector.
