[RsR] names for robust fitting functions

[Werner Stahel]

Dear all

A late contribution to the discussion about names:
I personally prefer if the most important characteristic of a
function leads to the frist part of the name. As a nice effect,
this leads to a meaningful grouping in alphabetic order.

The important characteristic is the model or problem. Therefore,
I prefer 
lmrob  to  roblm
Even though lmRob is taken by S-Plus, lmrob is still new. I do
not know if  covrob  is taken more often than  robcov .
Sorry for opening the question again ...

Best regards

Werner Stahel
