I rewrote scatter.smooth to handle missing values, but I have a question
about a move I had to make. Here's the code:
Mscatter.smooth-function (x, y, span = 2/3, degree = 1, family =
c(symmetric,
gaussian), xlab = deparse(substitute(x)), ylab =
deparse(substitute(y)),
ylim = range(y,

You need evaluate deparse(substitute(x)) _before_ you change x.
so have
xlab; ylab
early in the body of your function.
However, NEWS in R-devel says
o scatter.smooth() and loess.smooth() now handle missing values
in their inputs.
so why reinvent that wheel?
