This came on S-news
The more direct test being
sapply(c(a=1,b=2), names)
Problem:
R ("all" versions)
behaves the same as S+5.1, which is wrong IMO.
{since some might disagree, I didn't yet post to R-bugs ..}

Subject: [S] Feature or bug?
In S-PLUS 3.3 (DEC Alpha) and S-PLUS 2000,
> z <- c("a"=1, "b"=2)
> lapply(z, function(x)names(x))
$a:
[1] "a"
$b:
[1] "b"
But in S-PLUS 5.1 (Linux),
> z <- c("a"=1, "b"=2)
> lapply(z, function(x)names(x))
$a:
NULL
$b:
NULL
Is this a new feature of S-PLUS 5? Do I miss anything in
S-PLUS 5? Thank you for your help.
