Hello,

I forgot to ask you to also try to break the `sum` instruction into its components:

args(`sum`)


does return a function. Therefore formals(args(`sum`)) returns something useable and no warning.

Hello,

I believe that this is maybe not a *feature* but at least expected behaviour.

The call formals(args(`[`)) breaks down to


 > args(`[`)
NULL
 > formals(NULL)
NULL
Warning message:
In formals(fun) : argument is not a function


Hope this helps,

Hi,

A short code example showing the warning might the only thing needed here:

```
formals(args(`[`))
NULL

*Warning message:In formals(fun) : argument is not a function*
is.function(`[`)
[1] TRUE
is.primitive(`[`)
[1] TRUE
```

Now with an other primitive:

```
formals(args(`sum`))
$...


$na.rm
[1] FALSE

is.function(`sum`)
[1] TRUE
is.primitive(`sum`)
[1] TRUE
class(`[`)
[1] "function"
```

Is this a feature ?
