By "advanced" functions, you seem to mean non-standard evaluation. See
this chapter in the first edition of Advanced R:
http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Computing-on-the-language.html

Additionally, a search for "R non-standard evaluation" should give you
other useful results.

Note that non-standard evaluation is hard to get right for all cases,
and such bugs surface even in R itself from time to time:
