Yes this fixes the problem. Thanks!
BTW are there any plans to deal with backquoted symbols/names?
There are currently 2 problems with this:
1. Completion will work and expand symbols or names that contain special
characters but without backquoting them:
xxx <- as.list(11:13)
names(xxx) <- letters[1:3]
names(xxx)[2] <- "2b"
> xxx$<TAB><TAB> # <TAB> stands for a hit on the Tab key
xxx$2b xxx$a xxx$c
> xxx$2b # I hit 2, then <TAB> gives me the b
Now if I hit <Enter>, of course I get:
Error: unexpected numeric constant in "xxx$2"
2. Completion of names after $ will not work if I've already backquoted
the partial name:
> xxx$`2<TAB><TAB><TAB>... # nothing happens
Thanks!
