I strongly disagree. That's what cut() and R's functional programming style
is for. The number of arguments should be (usually) minimized in favor of
expecting users to use the features that R already provides. I think
Deepayan (and Bill Cleveland, his forbearer with trellis plots in S-Plus)
has done a fine job of doing this.
