[R] stop() vs. error() ?

[ivo welch]

Hi jim:  ahhh, but then the error messages are off for "real errors" 
that occur later.

Hi pierre: a return() in a (2nd-level) function can be different from a 
stop().  one could argue about whether it should be possible to stop() 
in a function of course, without it being an error().

regards,

/iaw

also From Pierre Kleiber:

The thing is that functions don't really stop... they return.  So what 
you want is return()
