[R] str: how to use "no list" recursively?

[Jeff Brown]

Hi,

In the help file for str(), the following line appears: "no.list	 logical;
if true, no ‘list of ...’ nor the class are printed".  However, that appears
to be true only on the top level; setting no.list to TRUE still leaves the
remaining levels with the `list of ...' statement intact:

> x <- list(
+ 	a = list(list()),
+ 	b = list(list())
+ );
> str(x)
List of 2
 $ a:List of 1
  ..$ : list()
 $ b:List of 1
  ..$ : list()
> str(x, no.list = TRUE)
 $ a:List of 1
  ..$ : list()
 $ b:List of 1
  ..$ : list()
> 

For readability reasons, I'd like to keep the indented $ signs and the names
of the sub-lists but suppress printing of `List of ...'.  Is that possible?

Thanks,
Jeff
