[R] about the char _

[Murray Jorgensen]

Just one small point: the assignment symbol must be about the most commonly
used symbol in any computer language. Yet in R and S+ it is represented by
a two-character string with, moreover, a change in case! I won't mind
giving up underscore as an assignment if an alternate single character,
preerably lower-case symbol is made available. Trouble is, I can't think of
anything!
