[R] `mapply(function(x) function() x, c("a", "b"))$a()' returns `"b"'

[Jessica Streicher]

As i see it you will save the actual "text" of the function - and when you call it later on it takes the last value of x it has encountered as the value. I guess you want the x not to be saved as x, but as "a" or "b", so, as its value.

I am not sure how to do that however as of yet.
