[Rd] Request: Documentation of formulae

[S Ellison]

Rather than transport quantities of the Introduction to R (a perfectly
sensible title for a very good starting point, IMHO) would it not be
simpler and involve less maintenance to include a link or
cross-reference in the 'formula' help page to the relevant part of the
Introduction? If nothing else, that might get folk to look at the
Introduction if they've bypassed it ....
