[R] How to get the polynomials out of poly()

[Prof Brian Ripley]

plot(raw=TRUE) does this for you: there is little point in fitting by 
orthogonal polynomials and then converting back.

As the help page says quite explicitly, poly() does not store the 
orthogonal polynomials: please also consult the reference it gives.  It 
also points out that predict() creates them.
