[R] CairoPDF

Regarding Simon Urbanek's excellent CairoPDF package, I noticed two items:

[1] looking at the april 6, 2011 documentation, on page 6, there are
some painful non-line breaks.  One of them makes it impossible to
understand how the process would work.  (see my example post earlier
on the charter font, though.)

[2] pdf("testfile") creates a file without a .pdf extension.
CairoPDF("testfile") creates testfile.pdf .  not a big deal---just a
small inconsistency if someone is switching from pdf to CairoPDF .

regards,
