Subject: [Rd] using function names as parameters (PR#469)
Message-ID: <200003030910.KAA15280@pubhealth.ku.dk>

When using a function name as parameter, here date, the following happends: 

R> foo <- function(date=date()) cat(date, "\n")
R> foo()
Error in cat(date, "\n") : recursive default argument reference

R> foo("Good Morning!")
Good Morning!

works.
