head.list: Return the first or last part of a list

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Description

Returns the first or last part of a list. Instead of returning the first n entries as the standard head() does, it attempts to call head() recursively on the entries in the list. If it fails, it will return the particular entry (standard behavior).
