Dear R developers

Actually, this is not a bug, but a small remark about a way R is working that
makes trouble in porting the code to S.

If I run the following i R:
---
midl <- 4
attr(midl,"Object created") <- date()
dump("midl","midl.R")
---

I get a file like:
---
"midl" <-
structure(4, Object created = "Thu Mar 08 16:04:04 2001")
---

This works well inside R, but S-PLUS has trouble reading it, because S needs "
around a attribute with spaces. E.g. S-PLUS wants:

---
"midl" <-
structure(4, "Object created" = "Thu Mar 08 16:04:04 2001")
---

This last example reads well into both systems, so way not let R print out the
attributes names with "..."

Again - Thanks for a wonderful program!
