I agree with Wolfgang that the semantics of [ are being violated here. It would though help if you could be a little less vague about your intent. What is this data structure going to store, how should it behave? On Thu, May 14, 2015 at 3:35 AM, Christian Arnold christian.arn...@embl.de wrote:

Can it be that the “in Bioc” shield is incorrect? For instance, it says “9.98 years” for vsn but the first commit was in Oct 2002 Curiously “9.98 years” is stated for many old packages - surely we can use R for more precise date arithmetic? Cheers Wolfgang On May 13, 2015, at
