[R] Creating named lists

[Søren Højsgaard]

Rune,
I doubt that this is possible because R-objects will typically not know "their own name".

No, I mean this:
a <- 1
b <- 2
list(a=a, b=b)

I just find it anoying, that I have to type the names of the variables twice.
I would like something like this instead:
list(a, b, use.var.names=TRUE)
