R `options(warning.expression=)` replacement functions unconditionally drop args












0















I'd like to customize R's prefix for printing-out warnings.
R's standard setting for warning.expression is NULL and works thusly



options(warning.expression=NULL)
warning("this is a test of the warning system")



Warning message:
this is a test of the warning system



warning(msg="this is a test of the warning system")



Warning message:
this is a test of the warning system



warning(xkqp="this is a test of the warning system")



Warning message:
this is a test of the warning system



If, within an Rscript, multiple warnings are encountered within a short period of time (or within a function/closure?), you get something like




Warning messages:
1. this is a test of the warning system
2. second message



However, customization of the warning text doesn't seem customable (without clobbering the message in the warning() call). For example, if I replace warning.expression as follows:



mywarn<-function(...) { 
print(paste(
names(substitute(alist(...))),
force(substitute(alist(...))),
sep=" = ",
collapse=";"
))
}
options(warning.expression=quote(mywarn(...)))
warning("this is a test of the warning system")



[1] " = alist;muffleWarning = function() NULL"



warning(msg="this is a test of the warning system")



[1] " = alist;muffleWarning = function() NULL"



whereas using mywarn() directly:



mywarn("this is a test of the warning system", named_parameter="see")



[1] " = alist; = this is a test of the warning system;named_parameter = see"



The closest thing I could find to an explanation of warning.expression was from a mailing list 13 years ago.
The most help in that thread came in a post by Barry Rowlingson suggesting a incomplete implementation in the C source by the R team.



The R documentation itself is insufficient.




warning.expression: an R code expression to be called if a warning is
generated, replacing the standard message. If non-null it is called
irrespective of the value of option warn.
