[R] recursive do.call

[Jeroen Ooms]

I would like to define a recursive equivalent to call or do.call, which takes
a vector of multiple function names and 'chains' them, by greedy matching of
arguments down the chain. For example, I would like to be able to do:

rec.do.call(c("glm","coef","print), list(formula=dist~speed, digits=3,
data=cars));

which would then be equivalent to:

print(coef(glm(formula=dist~speed, data=cars)), digits=3);

I've been playing around with a recursive function with ellipses, but I
can't wrap my head around it.
