But honestly tho:
> back to emd() or dat() or some such then?
The difference between values and emd/dat is 3 characters -- is this
really going to make a difference? A one-letter accessor or bust! (or
use `$` already! :)
But also:
Are you accessing the values() alot, or changing/adding to them?
I should check, but do the with/within constructs work with DataFrame
objects, maybe going that route can help in the tedium?
For example, when you're accessing the elementMetadata() often:
with(values(gr), {
## do lots of stuff w/ the columns
})
or if you want to tack on a bunch of junk to the metadata:
values(gr) <- within(values(gr), {
## what
## ever
## return some augmented version of your values()
})
You know?
