I can't help with your inquiry generally, but I can address the
issue of ``optional braces''.

	Yes.  This is correct.  If the body of the function doesn't
	need braces, you don't *have* to put them in.  (They never
	hurt, but.)  E.g.

	foo <- function(x) x^2

	works ``just as well as'' foo <- function(x){x^2}


	cheers,
