Hadley,

Any chance of changing fun.aggregate to FUN and value_var to value.var?

aggregate(.., FUN, ...)
acast(..., fun.aggregate, ...)

cast(..., value.var)
acast(..., value_var)

Side note: My fantasy for R 3.0 would be to fix the obvious inconsistencies
in function names/arguments, use Roxygen format for the documentation,
change the egregious [ , , drop=TRUE] to FALSE and paste(..., sep=""),
install packages on the fly, and improve consistency for functions dealing
with colors (hex, 0-1, 0-255, etc).

Sounds like a dream ;-) Please add to that list dropping the
stringsAsFactors "feature" and fixing
c(factor(c("a", "b")), factor(c("c", "a"))).

Thanks!
H.

Hi all,

Is there any chance that readRDS and saveRDS might one day become
read.rds and write.rds?  That would make them more consistent with the
other reading and writing functions.
