Subject: do.call() mangles expressions in arguments (PR#174)
Message-ID: <199904211736.TAA26994@pubhealth.ku.dk>


> f<-function(x)x
> f(expression(print("Oops")))
expression(print("Oops"))
> do.call("f",list(expression(print("Oops"))))
[1] "Oops"

Something in the do_docall code causes an extra eval of the
argument. Causes trouble with math expressions in labels in 
boxplot (do.call("title",...))
