[R] Default value of Numerals argument in read.table function R 3.3.2 on Mac

[Sarah Goslee]

Those are the available options, not the defaults. If you follow the
chain to ?type.convert as the help for read.table suggests, you will
learn that "allow.loss" is the default value. The help for
type.convert also explains what each option means.
