temp(sb=2,s=3) [1] 2
From the R language definition:
"Argument matching: Formal arguments are matched to supplied arguments first by exact matching on tags, then by partial matching on tags, and finally by positional matching."

The following code prints [1] 2, as it should
temp<-function(ab,...){ print(ab) } temp(2,s=3)
However, this code prints [1] 3:
temp<-function(sb,...){ print(sb) } temp(2,s=3)
It should still print [1] 2. It appears that if a variable in ... begins with the same letter as another variable, the value in the variable in ... overwrites the value in the variable with the same first letter.
I didn't see this bug reported elsewhere.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?
