Well, looks like you are the first person ever to actually use this feature

Thanks, fixed for future releases.

Not really. If a list x has a component called labels (and no other starting 
with lab), then x$lab will return the value of x$labels.

I don't think I'm going to change this behaviour, since the value of at does 
not affect the range in other contexts. (You are of course free to define 
your own superpanel function.)

Also fixed.
