For the sake of posterity, I'd say those deserves "because..."
clauses.  (I have my own pros/cons list, but I'm still not totally

Though offtopic, I do think it's a reasonable question here for folks
trying to map/leverage their knowledge of R onto C++.  To my knowledge
there's no equivalent of the  -> construct in C++, for example.
