A much simpler way that probably does what was originally intended is this: x <- table(..., exclude=exclude) This works fine on the example I posted. Where it differs from my solution is when expressions are passed: It gives > x <- 1:2 > y <- 3:4 > ftable(x+1, y+1) 4 5 2 1 0 3 0 1 whereas the current r-devel code gives > ftable(x+1, y+1) y + 1 4 5 x + 1 2 1 0 3 0 1 I like the new behaviour better, so I'll leave the complicated version in place.
