R help - Aug 2012 - Error in metafor documentation on maximum iterations

Both the official R documentation and Wolfgang's paper in the Journal of
Statistical Science describing this (extremely useful) package, name the
control variable for maximum iterations in numeric model fitting as
'maxiter'.  The correct name is 'maxit'.  A small point
concerning an (I
guess) infrequently used bit of functionality, but this may help save
someone an hour or so's head scratching!

Send this to Wolfgang directly. See
