Apropos, this reminds me of the old quiz (from the S-plus times):
How can you write (quite short!) R code such that
typing
"Q"
-- without any "()" -- will quit R (without asking about saving).
[But you shouldn't really keep that code active in your standard R session
because it would be too easy to accidentally shut down R !]
For the advanced ones:
My shortest solution uses 51 characters of R code, can you beat that?
