Proposal: more accurate seq(from, to, length=n)
I just thought that returning a more accurate result was better and that (1:10)/10 was an obvious way to calculate. It turned out that it was not that easy. I found that calculation that I proposed previously was not accurate for seq(-5, 5, length=101). I then thought of from + (0:(length.out - 1))/((length.out - 1)/(to - from)) , that is dividing by (1/by) instead of multiplying by 'by'.

Undocumented 'use.names' argument to c()
By "an argument named 'use.names' is included for concatenation", I meant something like this, that someone might try. > c(as.Date("2016-01-01"), use.names=FALSE) use.names "2016-01-01" "1970-01-01" See, 'use.names' is in the output. That's precisely because 'c.Date' doesn't have 'use.names', so

Removal of ans[nas] <- NA from the code of function 'ifelse' in R is not committed (yet).

factor(x, exclude=y) if x is a factor
I found this part in the documentation of 'factor'. 'factor(x, exclude=NULL)' applied to a factor is a no-operation unless there are unused levels: in that case, a factor with the reduced level set is returned. If 'exclude' is used it should also be a factor with the same level set as 'x' or a set of codes for the levels to be excluded.

stopifnot() does not stop at first non-TRUE argument
>From an example in http://www.uni-muenster.de/ZIV.BennoSueselbeck/s-html/helpfiles/nargs.html , number of arguments in '...' can be obtained by (function(...)nargs())(...) . I now realize that sys.call() doesn't expand '...' when the function is called with '...'. It just returns the call as is. If 'stopifnot' uses sys.call() instead of match.call() , the

Issues of R_pretty in src/appl/pretty.c
Yes, they work now.

See https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-August/074746.html for the origin of the example here. That pretty(c(-1,1)*1e300, n = 1e9, min.n = 1) gave 20 intervals, far from 1e9, but pretty(c(-1,1)*1e300, n = 1e6, min.n = 1) gave 1000000 intervals (on a machine), made me trace through the code to function 'R_pretty' in https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/appl/pretty.c . *lo is

stopifnot
Another possible shortcut definition: assert <- function(exprs) do.call("stopifnot", list(exprs = substitute(exprs), local = parent.frame())) After thinking again, I propose to use ??? ? ? stop(simpleError(msg, call = if(p <- sys.parent()) sys.call(p))) - It seems that the call is the call of the frame where stopifnot(...) is evaluated. Because that is the correct context, I

Function 'factor' issues
I am trying once again. By just changing f <- match(xlevs[f], nlevs) to f <- match(xlevs, nlevs)[f] , function 'factor' in R devel could be made more consistent and back-compatible.

Extract.data.frame.Rd about $.data.frame
The statement in R devel: There is no \code{data.frame} method for \code{$}, so \code{x$name} uses the default method which treats \code{x} as a list (with no partial matching of column names). The replacement method (for \code{$}) checks \code{value} for the correct number of rows, and replicates it if necessary. The added "(with no partial matching of column names)" is wrong.

Part of fastpass in 'sort.list' can make sorting unstable
In the code of functions 'order' and 'sort.list' in R 3.5.0 alpha (in https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-3-5-branch/src/library/base/R/sort.R), in "fastpass, take advantage of ALTREP metadata", there is "try the reverse since that's easy too...". If it succeeds, ties are reordered, violating stability of sorting. Example: x <- sort(c(1, 1, 3)) x # 1

complex NA's match(), etc: not back-compatible change proposal
I am raising this again. With z <- complex(real = c(0,NaN,NaN), imaginary = c(NA,NA,0)) , results of sapply(z, match, table = z) and match(z, z) are different in R 3.4.0 alpha. I think they should be the same. I suggest changing 'cequal' in unique.c such that a complex number that has both NA and NaN matches NA and doesn't match NaN, as such complex number is printed as NA.
