[R-sig-ME] Partial Argument Matching in nlme::varFunc

[Phillip Alday]

Hi Bill,

I see that you've really been getting into the nlme source lately ....
as far as I know, nlme is in maintenance mode right now and pretty badly
neglected in terms of interest in actually maintaining it. Have you
considered offering to take on some of that stewardship? I'm sure R Core
would be happy to have someone actively engaged in keeping a core
package alive.

Best,

Phillip
