[Rd] Warning when calling formals() for `[`.

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

I believe that this is maybe not a *feature* but at least expected 
behaviour.

The call formals(args(`[`)) breaks down to


 > args(`[`)
NULL
 > formals(NULL)
NULL
Warning message:
In formals(fun) : argument is not a function


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
