Hi, people. ?alist says:
'alist' is like 'list', except in the handling of tagged arguments
with no value.
As written, this description is misleading. For example:
> list(e=3+5)
$e
[1] 8
> alist(e=3+5)
$e
3 + 5
We are not in the situation of tagged arguments with no value, and then,
clearly, 'list' and 'alist' behave differently. The 'alist' documentation
probably needs to be amended, or clarified.
