But I'm still arguing that using an explicit 'stringsAsfactor'
*argument*  -- or your own wrapper for  read.table() with
different defaults, would be much cleaner.  There are not so
many cases where you'd have to pass such an argument, and - I
think also pass a 'na.action' argument to modelling functions,
rather than getting these from a global option.
