R help - Dec 2003 - minor documentation typo ?

Hi, 

I believe the following is a very minor typo in the documentation for
merge() : 

all logical; all=L is shorthand for all.x=L and all.y=L
                 ^                        ^           ^ 
Looks like 'L' should be 'FALSE'.

Someone please alert me if I am wrong. If I am not wrong, is it appropriate
to submit a bug for such minor detail? 

Thanks,
Jim

no,  L \in {TRUE, FALSE}  (and I had chosen 'L' for 'Logical').

Yes, it is appropriate, (at least when there *is* a bug :-)
