  That's true, but I was looking for a more comprehensive solution (which
would be harder to implement, and have the potential to gobble memory like
crazy) of being able to retrieve an list of past values -- "oh, that
third-to-last answer is the one I needed, I'll take that and put it in
this expression"
  (Besides which, 4 characters are better than 11 but worse than 1 or 2)

  I've moved this to R-devel.
