[Rd] How I() works in a formula

[Joris Meys]

Dear all,

I'm updating a package regarding a new type of models, and I'm looking to
extend the formula interface with two functions (L() and R() ) for
construction of these models. I want to use as much of the formula
interface as possible, and hoped to do something similarly to I().

I know the I() function does nothing more than add the class "AsIs". I've
been browsing the source code of R for a couple of days now trying to
locate where this class assignment gets translated into a specific action,
but i couldn't locate it. I've been as far as the internal C function
modelframe.

Any pointers on how I() is processed internally are greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Joris
