Subject: [Rd] args / formals on primitives
Message-ID: <200704161853.07237.thomas.friedrichsmeier@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>

On SVN revision 41087:

?args has this example line:

args(c)            # -> NULL (c is a 'primitive' function)

The comment seems out of date, as args(c) does in fact have a non-NULL return 
value:

args(c)
# function (..., recursive = FALSE) 
# NULL

While at it, I was wondering, why

formals(c)

still returns NULL, in contrast.
