[Rd] Unused argument "na.action" to pairs.formula

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You are correct: now fixed in R-patched and R-devel.

I have fixed this once before, so that fix must have got lost.

BTW, the sources have an explanatory comment you don't see by listing the 
function in R:  it is necessary to set m$na.action explicitly because
match.call only includes supplied arguments, not default ones.
So the lines now reads

     m$na.action <- na.action # force in even if  default
