Subject: [Rd] bad variable names when printing a data frame containing a
	matrix (PR#10730)
Message-ID: <20080209005009.1D620283460E@mail.pubhealth.ku.dk>

library(glmpath)
data(heart.data)
# heart.data is a list, $y a vector, $x a matrix
data <- data.frame(x=I(heart.data$x), y = heart.data$y)
> data[1:2,]
    x.1   x.2   x.3   x.4   x.5   x.6   x.7   x.8   x.9 y
1   160    12  5.73 23.11     1    49  25.3  97.2    52 1
2   144  0.01  4.41 28.61     0    55 28.87  2.06    63 1
> dimnames(heart.data$x)[[2]]
[1] "sbp"       "tobacco"   "ldl"       "adiposity" "famhist"   "typea"    
[7] "obesity"   "alcohol"   "age"      

Note that the printed variable names do not use the column names
of the matrix.

In contrast, in S-PLUS the names are used; the printout begins:
   x.sbp x.tobacco  x.ldl x.adiposity x.famhist x.typea x.obesity x.alcohol
