Dear R developers,
A recent typo led me to discover, that R is happy to accept
> 20x2
[1] 20
as input. This appears to be related to the parsing of hexadecimal
constants, since there must be a zero before the 'x' (i.e. 2x2 or
02x02 gives the expected error). All this is under R 2.12.1 on both OS
X and Linux. Is this expected behavior?
Cheers,
Olaf Mersmann
