Subject: [Rd] write.table(* , digits = ..) ?
Message-ID: <15159.4638.203418.415545@gargle.gargle.HOWL>

Can anyone think of  reason why
  write.table() 
doesn't have an optional digits argument?
Via paste() and hence the internal "as.character" equivalent,
it obeys the options()$digits setting ...
which is quite logical for the experienced user, but not for others who
just want to `export' their data to a portable format.
I propose to add that argument in order to help these kind of users.
