S Language Parsing
The manner in which TERR parses character types aids in internationlization.
The
TERR
parser can process text containing Unicode characters. All S language keywords
(function
,
for
, and so on) are ASCII. Numbers are parsed only when
written with ASCII digits using the US number format (such as "1234.56").
All non-ASCII Unicode characters are treated as possible name
characters, except for space characters. Thus, it is possible to have a
data.frame
column name, a factor level, or a variable
name containing Japanese characters.
