The R Project SVN R-packages

* Put the unpaste part of chron_strs.c in a separate file, and rewrite
for R internal object handling.  Code for unpaste() from strings.inUX
is no longer needed.

* Copy ALL.FUNCTIONS -> chron.R.

* In chron.R, replace all occurrences of
    !length(something)
by
    !as.logical(length(something))
In Emacs, you can do
    (query-replace-regexp 
     "!length(\\([a-z\.]*\\))" "!as.logical(length(\\1))" nil)

* The same problem (`!' only defined for logical arguments) occurs in
cut.dates():
    if(!(i <- pmatch(breaks[1], valid, 0)))
seq.dates():
    if(!(i <- pmatch(by, valid, 0)))
=> add `as.logical' after the `!'.

* In Ops.dates,
    if(any(o1 != o2))
does not work in R if one of the origins is NULL.  Change to
    if(any(o1 - o2))

* Change .Machine$single.eps to .Machine$double.eps

* Change .Options to options()

* In julian(), replace
    if(missing(origin.))
by
    if(missing(origin.) || is.null(origin.))

* Change occurences of
    UseMethod(generic, object, ...)
to
    UseMethod(generic)

* Make the following functions generic in the R distribution:
    cut diff hist mean quantile seq trunc
Comment the corresponding definitions for the generic funs and their
default methods.

* In cut.dates(), it seems that R's cut.default() which uses intervals
closed on the right by default produces results which are one off.
Adding `right = FALSE' to the call to cut.default() seems to fix this.

* character(n=0) in R is character(length=0) in S;  fix chron.R
accordingly

* In c.dates() and c.times(), add `recursive = FALSE' argument.

* In leap.year(), fix typo.

* In format<-(), format<-.times() and origin<-(), replace `val' by
`value'.

* Y2K update: comment convert.dates(), format.dates(), parse.format(),
and replace by updated functions by David James.
