Dear ESS + R users,
This is something that has slightly bothered me more than once and I
would like to change in ESS' default behavior:
Most of you will know and like the object name completion in
ESS; a few you will probably have found that it doesn't work for
objects whose name starts with a ".".
The reason is that these objects are not listed with
objects(pos= *) {aka ls(pos = *) } and this behavior of
objects() is fine and makes sense.
A bit more advanced users will know that you can see the
dot-objects also by using
objects(..., all.names = TRUE)
I'm planning to make this the default behavor for ESS+R.
