[ESS-bugs] ?names<-

[Martin Maechler]

In ESS devel

   ?names<-

gives an "infinite loop" (well, until C-g and C-c C-c)
whereas

   ?"names<-"
or ?'names<-'
work {though with the slightly ugly double quotes in the buffer  name}.

In all previous version of ESS, it did work without the
quotes....
though it never (I think) did work in  'pure R'  {R in the console}.

Note that this is of course related to (but much more important than)
the fact that
   ?chol-methods
no longer works {after  require(Matrix) }
but at least the latter quickly gives an error message
(similar to pure-R).

We have to decide if    ?names<-
should give an error
or if it should work (as previously, but unlike pure-R which
only accepts a quoted version).
