The prototypical situation is this
> f<-function(a=a)a
> f(2)
[1] 2
> f()
Error in f() : recursive default argument reference
The default for argument a ends up needing the value of a. This can
also happens more indirectly when multiple arguments refer to
eachother.
BTW: Is that error message proper French? Should it not be
référence récursive d'argument par défaut
or so.
