It's actually deparse() that causes this, but the problem is already 
solved in R-devel (to become R 2.5.0).  If you don't like the formatting 
that deparse() gives to one of your expressions, use the Sweave option
keep.source=TRUE, and your original formatting will be kept for that 
chunk.  Or globally retain your formatting via 
\SweaveOpts{keep.source=TRUE} at the start of your file.
