Subject: [Rd] discussion of change in R 3.3.0 to [<-
Message-ID: <CAP4Yp+m70-OoW+9y5e_OJR9D4qBzS-T9p4JMgP3twaL0wjPR_Q@mail.gmail.com>

In the NEWS for R 3.3.0 is this change:


    * [<- with an S4 value into a list currently embeds the S4 object
      into its own list such that the end result is roughly equivalent
      to using [[<-.  That behavior is deprecated.  In the future, the
      S4 value will be coerced to a list with as.list().

I cannot find a discussion of this change anywhere. Can someone point
me to a discussion of the reasons and/or implications?

Best,
Richard
