Hi:

When converting some code to use plot = F in a call to hist(), I received
the following warning (with a much simplified example).

moo<-1:10
hist(moo, las=1, plot=F)

Warning message:
In hist.default(moo, las = 1, plot = F) : argument '...' is not made use of

>From the help page, I was able to figure out that it was the las=1
argument, which is not needed with plot = F that was my issue. My question
is whether this was the intended warning (instead of mentioning las = 1
explicitly, which might be hard to implement) and if so if there might be
some more direct way to figure out what was wrong from say args(hist),
since I initially thought I'd in some way unintentionally passed ... as an
argument?
