[R] infix paste and package

[Christian Hoffmann]

Hi,

I can successfully define  in .R and in  > R

"%&%" <- function(a,b) { paste(a,b,sep="") }

nd use in R >

  "a" %&% "b"
[1] "ab"

but in a package definition .Rd
....
\name{pasteInfix}
\alias{pasteInfix}
\alias{\%&\%
}
\usage{ a  \%&\% b
}

will fail in R CMD   check --as-cran  saying

"I am" %&%
+  " hungry" # [1] "I am hungry"
Error: could not find function "%&%"
Execution halted.

What is wrong in my .Rd file?

PS:  The placement of the closing } and the escaping of "%" seem also 
critical.

TIA  Christian
