Note that S has a  write(.)  function  which would be our
	write.default(.)

your	write.table	    would be our 
	write.data.frame

The only addition would be a  'write.matrix' which would be 'like'
write.data.frame, the only problem being that  'matrix' is not a class (yet).
	[Note that in S4, everything has a class; 
	   I'm voting for matrices to have a class in R  ..]
write.default  could 'despatch' to write.matrix if  x  is a matrix.
