When plotting a numerical vector against a factor, 'type="n"' seems to have no 
affect, e.g.
plot (1:10~factor (1:10), type = "n")

looks just like
plot (1:10~factor (1:10))

This plots 10 boxplots and the data are passed from plot.formula. plot.formula does not accept a "type" argument. plot.default() does, but that is not used once your use a formula.

Plotting a numerical against itself works as expected:
plot (1:10, type = "n")

I see the same behavior under debian gnu/linux, Mac OS X, and Win7 (all current 
versions, see below). Is this a bug?
