Hello.

First, I'm thankful about your wonderful project.

However, I have serious worries about the reliability of R. I found
the next bug which I consider important because in my job everytime We
work with datanames like next. Please see below:


 b=data.frame(matrix(1:9,ncol=3))
 names(b)=c("q99","r88","s77")

 >b
  q99 r88 s77
1   1   4   7
2   2   5   8
3   3   6   9
> b$q9
[1] 1 2 3


Please note that the variable q9 does not exist in the dataframe, but
you can see  that R
show q9 (as q99).

Thank in advanced


Cordially
