Variables in .GlobalEnv is precisely what I try to omit.

@mbq, hm, list2env is a relatively new function. And still it will produce the variables in the some environment, when the OP wants to get the variables in the top environment. So the ugliness still remains :)

@mpiktas In R, it is more natural to make a list, set its names parameter and later either just use it, attach it or convert it into an environment with list2env and eval inside it. With no loops, parse or other ugly stuff.
