[R] the underscore ("_") in variable name

[Jim Lemon]

Just a vote for "<-".  Once I became familiar with the convention using
APL, I really began to appreciate the value of distinguishing assignment
from equality.  Also, the "<-" is clear and fairly unambiguous.  Using
NEdit, it is trivial to create a macro (Alt= for example) that will type
the assignment symbol for you.  If you use the left and right assignment
operators often, perhaps Ctrl= and Alt= would be a simple way to get
these combinations.
