[Something to think about:](https://twitter.com/thomasp85/status/781119249662275584) currying a function with an ellipsis presumably yields an infinitely recursive function. Not clear how to resolve this, maybe just forbid it.

In particular, for `->`, add a test asserting that the following works: ``` r {} -> constant ``` … it currently _works_ and this is good, even though it wasn’t...

Ooh, excellent points. I should definitely be careful to use a consistent terminology. And as for the gene–transcript quantification, I used some rather ugly simplification back when I did this,...

I was actually going to submit immediately after BoG, so it’s definitely not too soon. The thesis isn’t extensively proofread yet but apart from that (and the lack of supplements)...

Hmm, I’m not convinced that right associativity would in general be desirable. Most of C++’ operators (except assignment) are left associative, this should generally be preserved in order to avoid...

More fun: the following works (but doesn’t actually get rid of `iris`); ``` r iris = iris rm(iris) ``` (The first line assigns a _new_ variable in the current environment,...

Hi @ArcadeAntics, sorry for the radio silence I’ve had a few rather busy weeks. Unfortunately we have a problem: there’s [official confirmation](https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2024q2/010685.html) that `.External2()` is not part of R’s API,...

Thanks for the catch! I don’t know much about `.External2`. [Its documentation](https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/Foreign-internal.html) is very sparse but suggests that it is an internal function (that said, I believe that you are...
