 I notice neither Google nor Hadley give examples with 'else' or 'else
if' clauses!

 Talking of closing braces, I discovered this closing brace in the
colorRamp function:

   x <- seq.int(0, 1, length.out = nrow(colors))^{
        bias
    }

 Yes, it's on a line on its own, but why is it even there in the first place?
