[R] body bug?

[Jorge Luis Ojeda Cabrera]

I am not sure if this is a bug or not but it seemed estrange to me.

Following code works ok.

> cat("Hello my body is:  ");body(cat)
Hello my body is:  .Internal(cat(list(...), file, sep, fill, labels, 
append))
> cat("Hello my body is:  ");body(cat);cat("\n")
Hello my body is:  .Internal(cat(list(...), file, sep, fill, labels, 
append))

>

But when I define a function it doesn't work...

> f <- function(x) {cat("Hello my body is:  ");body(x);cat("\n");}
> f(cat)
Hello my body is:  
> 

Does anybody knows why it doesn't work ?.


Thanks in advance, and Great Work.
