G1$call is very nice to look at G2$call is very voluminous if we revise do.call to function (what, args, quote = FALSE, envir = parent.frame()) { if (!is.list(args)) stop("second argument must be a list") if (quote) { enquote <- function(x) as.call(list(as.name("quote"), x)) args <- lapply(args, enquote) } ans = .Internal(do.call(what, args, envir)) ans$call = match.call() ans } G1 and G2 look a lot more alike > version _ platform powerpc-apple-darwin8.9.0 arch powerpc os darwin8.9.0 system powerpc, darwin8.9.0 status Under development (unstable) major 2 minor 6.0 year 2007 month 06 day 05 svn rev 41826 language R version.string R version 2.6.0 Under development (unstable) (2007-06-05 r41826) --- Vince Carey, PhD Assoc.
