Two short replies to Thomas's answer:

"strata" is from the survival package.

"interaction" and "strata" do slightly different things.  
The order in which the levels are cycled is different and 

In both cases the new level set is the cartesian product of all the
component level sets, but with strata any vacant levels are pruned, with
interaction they are not.
