But I'm still arguing that using an explicit 'stringsAsfactor' *argument* -- or your own wrapper for read.table() with different defaults, would be much cleaner. There are not so many cases where you'd have to pass such an argument, and - I think also pass a 'na.action' argument to modelling functions, rather than getting these from a global option.
