Hi,
Is this expected behavior for active bindings in attached
environments, or is this a bug:
> e <- new.env()
> makeActiveBinding('x',function() 'foo',e)
> ls(e)
[1] "x"
> attach(e)
> search()
[1] ".GlobalEnv" "e" "package:graphics"
[4] "package:grDevices" "package:datasets" "package:utils"
[7] "package:methods" "Autoloads" "package:base"
> x
function() 'foo'
Should this print 'foo' ? The following works as I would expect:
> with(e,x)
[1] "foo"
but this doesn't:
> f <- function() x
> f()
function() 'foo'
However, changing the environment of f does:
> environment(f) <- e
> f()
[1] "foo"
