well, but it doesn't do that in R 2.0.1 (proper or patched) both

No documentation for 'Memory - limits' in specified packages and libraries:
you could try 'help.search("Memory - limits")'
whereas in ESS, it actually does what Shigero Mase expected,
since ESS has it's own {not entirely correct either!} magic
handling of help().
