Hi,
Say I have
   function(aa,bb,cc) { does something }
and I want to go through all (or a subset) of function arguments to check if
they're missing.  Of course, I can check each one in turn, ie.
      if (missing(aa)) {}
      if (missing(bb)) {}, etc.
But is there a construct like the following to go through all of them and
perform some default action?  Like this (which doesn't work obviously):
   for el in c('aa','bb','cc')
       if missing(el)  {do something}
I was thinking could to eval(parse( <construct string here> )), but was
hoping there was something cleaner.
Thanks
