Hmm, not quite. I tried, and terms like offset(foo) gets me in trouble. Probably, I was fixing the wrong end of the original problem: In the comparisons, we can't have one side with backquotes and the other without them. That doesn't have to mean that they should be removed from both sides, and indeed it would get us in trouble if someone was perverse enough to do things like y ~ `offset(foo)` + offset(foo) I.e. perhaps the real issue is that names(data) gets generated without backquotes. Anyways, this is a real can of worms and I'm not sure we're not too close to 2.0.0 to start tampering with it... -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
