[R] Suggestion for tapply

[Frank E Harrell Jr]

In S-Plus the ... argument for tapply is before simplify.
In R (1.2.3) ... is after simplify, causing the user to
have to specify simplify every time ... is used even 
though the default is usually OK.  Unless there was a
benefit to reordering the arguments, it might be a good 
idea to reconsider the current function definition.  
... is probably used more than simplify 
(e.g., tapply(rainfall, state, quantile, probs=c(.25,.75))).

Thanks -Frank
