Tony Plate: There looks to be a typo in the R-exts manual: [...]
Peter Dalgaard: 'svn blame' tells me that this was Brian's addition in rev.35362 [...]
Brian D. Ripley: I prefer 'svn praise' myself.
Peter Dalgaard: Or 'svn annotate'. I think it depends on what I'm looking for, plus the risk that the author (perpetrator, contributor) might be me...
-- Tony Plate, Peter Dalgaard, and Brian D. Ripley (about a typo in the documentation)

Basically, you are calling .Internal from the command line. It is not designed to be called from there and only wizards know what happens if it is. (The set of wizards who might know whether it makes any sense at all does not include me!)

The "right" place to store information like this in Windows is in the registry, but we've been reluctant to use it, for various historical reasons. In fact, we were just told today that editing the registry is not allowed by software used by the US government. I think they'll be moving back to the abacus, if they want to stay with Windows.
-- Duncan Murdoch (about where to store some Windows GUI preferences)
R-devel (January 2008) #Rstats

Well, 'do as we say, not do as we do' applies, I think.
-- Brian D. Ripley (answering a report on a small inconsistency in 'Writing R Extensions' by David Firth)
R-devel (June 2005) #Rstats

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)
