I have the following problem

mydata <- data.frame(a=1:3)
form <- ~ (a>1) - 1
model.matrix(form,mydata)

 a > 1FALSE a > 1TRUE
1          1         0
2          0         1
3          0         1
...

However

model.matrix(update(terms(form)[1],~.-1),mydata)

  (Intercept) a > 1 - 1TRUE
1           1             1
2           1             1
3           1             1
...

Taking

terms(form)[1]

extracts the formula with only the first term, but the parentheses
are thrown away, and after the update, I get a different formula.
Is that supposed to be so?

Thanks, Niels
