[Rd] patch for random.c

Dear all, while looking for some inspiration of how to organise some code, I studied the code of random.c and noticed that for distributions with 2 or 3 parameters the user is not warned if NAs are created while such a warning is issued for distributions with 1 parameter. E.g: R version 2.7.0

[Rd] Suggest patch for princomp.formula and prcomp.formula

Dear all, perhaps I am using princomp.formula and prcomp.formula in a way that is not documented to work, but then the documentation just says: formula: a formula with no response variable. Thus, to avoid a lot of typing, it would be nice if one could use '.' and '-' in the formula,
