R-devel, I would like to second Gabor Grothendieck's request from September ( http://www.nabble.com/as.Date.numeric-to12962733.html#a12962733 ) on adding a default value (1970-01-01) to the origin argument of as.Date.numeric.
I realize there is good reason to allow for origin to be specified, but I don't see why it must be up to the user at each and every invocation if most (if not all) users will simply be using 1970-01-01. My first contact was building quantmod for CRAN - many more hidden errors occur as I test on R-devel. It just seems to me to be an easy compromise to what will undoubtedly cost many hours of debugging across all packages/users. Thank you for your consideration, Jeff Ryan ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
