Circle 8.1.20 of 'The R Inferno'
http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Tutor/R_inferno.pdf
gives the rules for argument matching.
When you see them explicitly set out there,

is as it is.

I noticed that the argument names after the dots argument are not partially
matched.
foo<- function(one, two, ...){
one + two
}
foo(o=1, t=2)
[1] 3
foo<- function(one, ..., two){
one + two
}
foo(o=1, t=2)
Fehler in one + two : 'two' fehlt
Can someone explain me the reason for this behavior?
