[R] python-like dictionary for R

[Phil Spector]

Paul -
    You can also use named vectors as something similar to
a python dictionary:

> nvec = c('one'=20,'two'=30,'three'=40)
> nvec['four'] = 50
> nvec['one']
one
  20
> nvec['four']
four
   50

Although the result is named, it can be used as a regular R
value:

> 20 + nvec['three']
three
    60

If the names annoy you (as they seem to annoy many R users),
you can unname the object:

> unname(20 + nvec['three'])
[1] 60
