Here's one way:
> subarray <- function(x, marginals, intervals) {
+ if (length(marginals) != length(intervals))
+ stop("marginals and intervals must be the same length
(intervals can be a list)")
+ if (any(marginals<1 | marginals>length(dim(x))))
+ stop("marginals must contain values in 1:length(dim(x))")
+ ic <- Quote(x[, drop=T])
+ # ic has 4 elts with one empty index arg
+ ic2 <- ic[c(1, 2, rep(3, length(dim(x))), 4)]
+ # ic2 has an empty arg for each dim of x
+ ic2[marginals+2] <- intervals
+ eval(ic2)

[3,] 75 91 107 123

Question for language experts: is this the best way to create and
manipulate R language expressions that contain empty arguments, or are
there other preferred ways?
