[R-pkg-devel] RData files with identical objects in package

[Michael Dewey]

Dear Troels

Perhaps I misunderstand what you are trying to do but would it be 
possible to put each x and y into a list or a dataframe with different 
names and then modify your usgae to pull them from there? Then there 
would be no danger of users getting the wrong x and y
