These slight differences annoyed me at the beginning, but the advantage of
getting older is that you just get generally more forgetful. "Just assume
nothing works unless you are explicit about it" seems to be my current motto :)
as<>() and wrap() are pretty magic. We get by with fewer very explicit
statement than we used to years ago, but some remain, notably
-- return statements better not be compound
-- assignment from list or data.frame by name
-- [ your issue here, space for rent upon request ]
