[Rd] defer removal of ENCLOS, FRAME, HASHTAB, SET_ENCLOS

[Laurent Gautier]

Hi,

I'd like to second that request. rpy2, a Python-R bridge, also
uses ENCLOS / SET_ENCLOS and to a lesser extent FRAME.

Also, what is the alternative suggested to replace the functionality
they offered?


Best,

Laurent
