[R] Change default values of a function

Dear R-helpers,
	I would like to change the default value of a functions that is call by a
package. The function deparse() is called by a set of functions from a
library and because I don't think is appropriate to change the library, I am
trying to change the default value in deparse().

	At the moment the only solution I have come across is to place a function
in my working environment like this,

deparse <- function(expr,width.cutoff=400,backtick=mode(expr) %in%
c("call","expression","("),...) deparse(expr,width.cutoff=400,backtick,...)

	I only want to change the width.cutoff of the function and I wonder of
there is any more elegant way to do it.

regards,

Jesus
