[Rd] sourcing dput output

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Thanks.

However, that still leaves these questions:

1. I assume the changes to the internal representation of rownames is
behind this but should not dput continue to work exactly the same as
it used to work???  I would think that the internal representation aspect
would be just that -- internal and not affect various commands.

2. what is the difference between dput and dump supposed to be
anyways?
