[R] fill between lines

[Don MacQueen]

It could be approximated with line segments, using the segments function.

Something like two calls similar to
    segments(x,x^2, x, 0.5*x^2)

one call where f > g, the other call f < g, using a different value 
for the 'col' argument

Make x very dense, say seq(1,100,len=1000) instead of 1:100, and it 
will look like it's filled.
