Hi! I would like to suggest to make it possible, in one way or another, to get meaningful contrast names when using contr.sum(). Currently, when using contr.treatment(), one gets factor levels as contrast names; but when using contr.sum(), contrasts are merely numbered, which is not practical and can lead to mistakes (see code at the end of this message).

The GPL says very little about protecting the the rights of original contributors by not disseminating misleading information about them.

(This difference of opinion on what should sensibly be done, by the way, predates R by a long shot. My first exposure to it were with the very acrimonious disputes between Nelder and Kempthorne in the mid 70's. It has remained a cross-Atlantic dispute pretty well ever since, with the latest shot being the paper by Lee and Nelder in 2004. Curiously, the origin of the software can almost be determined by the view taken on this issue, with Genstat...
