[Rd] Naming difference in cbind between S-Plus (PR#6515)

[rmh at temple.edu]

Naming difference in cbind between S-Plus and R.
I think R is wrong.

abc <- data.frame(y=1:4, x=rnorm(4))
abc.lm <- lm(y ~ x, data=abc)
predict.lm(abc.lm, type="terms")  ## this is where R got the name "x"
abc <- cbind(abc, d=abc$y - predict.lm(abc.lm, type="terms"))
abc


R gives
> abc
  y           x        x
1 1 -1.33925477 1.163001
2 2  1.52764505 1.799073
3 3  0.07805628 2.983086
4 4 -0.48720310 4.054840

S-Plus gives
> abc
  y          x        d 
1 1  1.8843692 2.075596
2 2 -0.9144517 1.296060
3 3  0.5063175 3.199408
4 4 -0.7054668 3.428936
