Subject: [Rd] Documentation patch for 'match' and 'palette'
Message-ID: <451C2C69.9090600@sfu.ca>

Here is a patch to improve documentation for finding useful, yet newish, 
functions: 'findInterval' and 'colorRamp'. I think that it is worthwhile 
to mention these in the 'seealso' section of the similar 'match' and 
'palette' documents. I had difficulty finding these functions at first, 
as they have compound names. Modify the patch as needed:
