[R] Listing of available functions

[Matthew Dowle]

Try :
objects("package:base")

Also, as it happens, a new package called unknownR is in
development on R-Forge.

It's description says :
  Do you know how many functions there are in base R?
  How many of them do you know you don't know?
  Run unk() to discover your unknown unknowns.
  It's fast and it's fun !

It's not ready to try yet (and may not live up to it's promises)
but hopefully should be ready soon.
