Exercise in matching rules: sub= matches *subset* in the definition of
boxplot.formula 

One way out is to use the format

boxplot(x~y,subset=,sub="qwerty") 

another is to change the definition of boxplot.formula() so that the
'...' goes immediately after the formula argument, which will force
all argument matches to be exact and non-positional.

There's a deep code freeze on 1.0.0, so it cannot be fixed now, but
it might go into 1.0.1.
