I think it is well past time to terminate this thread. I think the
appropriate bottom line is:
LET'S NOT MUCK AROUND WITH R SYNTAX ANY MORE
(Richard O'Keefe).
I.e. "**" should be allowed to continue to act as a synonym for "^".
I will just have to live with my propensity for fumble-fingering.
Richard O'Keefe also suggested using lint scripts. I will need to
learn how to do this.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
