[R] only actual variable names in all.names()

dear all,
When I use all.vars(), I am interest in extracting only the variable names..
Here a simple example

all.vars(as.formula(y~poly(x,k)+z))

returns
[1] "y" "x" "k" "z"

and I would like to obtain
"y" "x" "z"

Where is the trick?

many thanks
vito
