[R] comment() a function

[Robin Hankin]

Hi everyone.

I want to comment() a function f(), and I know it's there
because comment(f) returns the comment as expected...but dput() does not
print the the comment.   dput() prints
comments for other types of objects. What's wrong with my understanding here?


f <- function(x){x^2}
comment(f) <- "works fine"
comment(f)
[1] "works fine"
dput(f)
function(x)
{
          x^2
}


why hasn't dput() printed the comment?
How can I save a function onto disk with a comment()?
