Okay, I'll put in those changes (with Brian's improvement). One other
one I'll look at:
If a matrix doesn't have row names, I might add names like '[nn,]' to
it, so I get results like
> x <- matrix(1:100,ncol=2)
> tail(x)
[,1] [,2]
[45,] 45 95
[46,] 46 96
[47,] 47 97
[48,] 48 98
[49,] 49 99
[50,] 50 100
instead of the current
> tail(x)
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 45 95
[2,] 46 96
[3,] 47 97
[4,] 48 98
[5,] 49 99
[6,] 50 100
I just want to be careful that this doesn't mess up something else.
