In R, family has aic component since version 0.62. There is no aic component in family in R 0.61.3.
Looking at blame, https://github.com/wch/r-source/blame/tags/R-0-62/src/library/base/R/family.R , aic component in family is introduced in svn revision 640 (https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/ac666741679b50bb1dfb5ce631717b375119f6ab):
using aic(.) [Jim Lindsey]; use switch() rather than many if else else.. (MM)
Components of family is documented since R 2.3.0.

Thank you Ben.
I think I was already suggesting that it was by Simon and Ross
and we cannot know who of the two.

I've spent quite some time checking this - to some extent.
Thank you for the patch. I will use an even slightly extended
version ((and using the correct '\eqn{\eta}{eta}' )).
Thank you indeed.
