[R] .Alias

[Setzer.Woodrow@epamail.epa.gov]

Probably I've just misread the documentation, but I don't understand the
behavior of .Alias.
Consider this (on R-1.1.1, both Windows and SGI):

> tmp <- matrix(nrow=3,ncol=2)
> new <- .Alias(tmp)
> new[1,1] <- 1
> tmp
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]   NA   NA
[2,]   NA   NA
[3,]   NA   NA
> new
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1   NA
[2,]   NA   NA
[3,]   NA   NA

I expected tmp[1,1] to be 1.
