On reflection, it seems to me that what we really need here
is Prof. Ripley's mind_read() function that was foreshadowed
some years ago (see fortune("mind_read")) so that R could
determine just *which* lm() (for example) function the user
has in mind when he or she types ``lm(...)'' at the keyboard.

Perhaps Brian could report on what progress has been made
with the mind_read() function.

     cheers,

         Rolf
