I like that last comment a lot and would like to add my tuppence. It is
surprisingly easy to re-invent the wheel in R because it is surprisingly
easy to overlook the existence of functions and, in my case, entire
libraries of functions that are already there, debugged, and working
well. I am not sure how to overcome this problem (I understand that it
is not a problem for you, Prof.) with R. Perhaps there is a
documentation solution.
