The assign() function may be used with paste() to create
function names in a loop. For example, suppose we have a list
my.list of length n and we want to create variables x1,...,xn
each containing the component comp of the corresponding element
of my.list. This may be done using
for (i in 1:n) assign(paste("x",i,sep=""), my.list[i]$comp)
