I haven't looked at either.  What makes you think that the above be
more standard?

only if they might be incorporated in to a future version of R  :--))
If the diff are relatively small and look good, the chances are
relatively high the inc. will happen.

I think this is a very useful idea -- though I probably will
almost never make use of it, using ESS 99.5% of the time.
