Subject: [Rd] as.name and namespaces
Message-ID: <5176C393.9090802@pburns.seanet.com>

'as.name' doesn't recognize a name with
its namespace extension as a name:

 > as.name("lm")
lm
 > as.name("stats::lm")
`stats::lm`
 > as.name("stats:::lm")
`stats:::lm`


Is there a reason why it shouldn't?

Pat
