## R Packages (that one slide of "Using R")

The default list of R objects (functions, some data sets) is actually not so small: Let's call `ls()` on each `search()` entry:
```{r functions, echo=TRUE}
ls.srch <- sapply(grep("package:", search(),
                       value=TRUE), # "package:<name>" entries
                  ls, all.names = TRUE)
fn.srch <- sapply(ls.srch, function(nm) {
    nm[ sapply(lapply(nm, get), is.function) ] })
rbind(cbind(ls   = (N1 <- sapply(ls.srch, length)),
            funs = (N2 <- sapply(fn.srch, length))),
      TOTAL = c(sum(N1), sum(N2))) -> res
```
i.e., `r sum(N2)` functions in
R version `r with(R.version, paste(major, minor, sep="."))`

(Past: had 2297 in version 2.11.1,  2348 in 2.14.0,  2332 in 3.0.2
