[Rd] data() statement in functions

[Robin Hankin]

Hi

I am writing a package in which a function needs a dataset (of  
precomputed Stirling
numbers) to work.   The .rda file resides in the data/ directory.

Toy example follows:


f <- function(x){
   data(logS1)
   . . . do stuff . . .
   return(answer)
}


Is this a good way to do this?
What is best practice in such situations?
