I'm not sure if this is a known peculiarity or a bug, but I stumbled across what I think is very odd behavior from delayedAssign. In the below example x switches values the first two times it is evaluated.
> delayedAssign("x", {x <- 2; x+3}) > x==x [1] FALSE > delayedAssign("x", {x <- 2; x+3}) > x [1] 5 > x [1] 2 The ?delayedAssign documentation says that "after [evaluation], the value is fixed and the expression will not be evaluated again." However, this appears not to be true. Is this a bug, or just a good way to write extremely obfuscated code?
