Gregor Gorjanc: But imagine how hard would it be to have two separate modes ... argh, probably a mess^2 or have I missed something obvious.
Martin Maechler: Yes, exactly: "Mess ^ 2" -- and if you allow both 'drop' and 'na.rm' options, it's "Mess ^ 3" -- not something anyone really wants!
-- Gregor Gorjanc and Martin Maechler (in a discussion whether 'drop' should be set in options(), possibly depending on different user vs. programmer modes)
