| Always spell-out the complete argument names. Although the R execution tries to save you time by matching partially-completed names, do not rely on this. Partial maching is less consistent and less readable. Furthermore, the function signature may be updated in the future, and the partial match may become ambiguous. |

You have a typo: "maching" -> "matching".
