[Rd] question on docs for delayedAssign and substitute

[Tony Plate]

The help files for delayedAssign and substitute both say that 
substitute() can be used to see the expression associated with a 
promise.  However, I can't see how to do that.  When I try the example 
in help file for delayedAssign I don't see substitute() extracting the 
promise, e.g.:

 > msg <- "old"
 > delayedAssign("x", msg)
 > msg <- "new!"
 > substitute(x) #- I would expect to see 'msg' here
x
 > x #- new!
[1] "new!"
 > substitute(x)
x
 >

Has this functionality been removed, and the docs not updated?  Or am I 
missing something?
