Just a small remark: For all those who -- like me -- have found
it  ``unpleasant'' to have to quote the first argument of do.call():
You don't have to any longer since the NEWS of R 2.1.0 contains

    o	do.call() now takes either a function or a character string as
	its first argument.  The supplied arguments can optionally be
	quoted.

So the above could be 

   do.call(substitute, list(ff, list(x = as.name("weight"))))
