Hi all, Today I came across scoping in the R intro<http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html#Scope> (after reading Robert Gentleman fortune<http://rfortunes.posterous.com/im-always-thrilled-when-people-discover-what> on lexical scooping) , and am very curious about the <<- assignment.
The manual showed one (very interesting) example for "<<-", which I feel I understood. What I am still missing is the context of when this can be useful. So what I would love to read from you are examples (or links to examples) on when using "<<-" can be interesting/useful. What might be the dangers of using it (it looks easy to loose track of), and any tips you might feel like sharing.
