[R] save.image() excluding functions

[Agustin Lobo]

If the recommendation is to write functions with an external editor 
(I mean, avoiding fix()), keep them as text files (*.R) and using
source() to bring them into the R session, why not excluding,
by default, function objects from save.image() ?
In particular, from the final save.image(),
the one that is proposed at q().

In this way, functions would not get included within .RData,

I've made a personal misave() that excludes functions, but 
it might be a good idea having this as the default 
behaviour. Or perhaps, at least saving functions to
a text file (.Rtext) and the rest of objects 
as rda (.RData).

Just a suggestion.
