yes, in principle;
thank you, Uwe!
Since sig.level can also be NULL (which works with the way you
constructed the test - on purpose?), I'd use the test a bit
differently.
BTW, did you know that e.g., sig.level or delta can be *vectors*
giving vectorized results - at least in some cases...
That will hopefully leed to more documentation / code updates,
but not for 2.0.0 I presume.
