[R] code for functions in base package

[Benjamin.STABLER@odot.state.or.us]

If you want to see the code (function definition) just type the function
without any parenthesizes or arguments.  In this case, the dexp function
calls C code since the .Internal function is called.  To see internal C code
you have to look at the R source.

> dexp
function (x, rate = 1, log = FALSE) 
.Internal(dexp(x, 1/rate, log))
<environment: namespace:base>
