The problem with attach is what it does, not how it does it. If you do the same thing attach does any other way, you've managed to create all the problems of attach without using attach. If I tell you chopping your finger off with a knife is bad, your question shouldn't be "Okay, knives are bad. How do I chop my finger off without a knife? Can I use scissors or is there a better way?"

Your example requires all choices of 1541 out of 3000, which I would expect to take somewhere near age-of-the-universe seconds to compute. The code uses a clever nested computation due to Gail et al which will cut that time down to infinity/10.

I believe functions should do what they say on the box (and the help page), and not what some user hopes they might do by mind-reading.

Peter Dalgaard: You seem to be using call-by-value semantics rather than call-by-name...

Jeremy Koster: My students were looking at the estimated varying intercepts for each higher-level group (or the "BLUP's", as some people seem to call them).
Douglas Bates: As Alan James once said, "these values are just like the BLUPs - Best Linear Unbiased Predictors - except that they aren't linear and they aren't unbiased and there is no clear sense in which they are "best", but other than that ..."
