Can anyone give me one advantage afforded by the following scope rule of S?
>Functions defined within functions do not have automatic access to
> local variables of the parent.
Is this a historical relic?
Also, why doesn't a concept as important as scope have an entry in the
index of either the S-Plus Programmer's Guide or the User's Guide?
