title: Fitting a Gumbel distribution with fitdistrplus
body: <p>I'm trying to reproduce the code from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6848958/4124334">this answer</a>, however I have problems in doing so. I'm using the gumbel distribution from package <code>VGAM</code> and <code>fitdistrplus</code>.
  The problem emerges when doing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fit   = fitdist(data1, 'gumbel', start = list(location = 0, scale = 1))
  Error in mledist(data, distname, start, fix.arg, ...) : 
    'start' must specify names which are arguments to 'distr'.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As if <code>location</code> and <code>scale</code> were not arguments of *gumbel.</p>
  
  <p><code>dgumbel</code>, <code>pgumbel</code>, <code>rgumbel</code> and <code>qgumbel</code> are correctly provided by <code>VGAM</code>.
  However the package also provides a function called <code>gumbel</code>, with different syntax. May this be causing problems?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: yes indeed it is causing problems: using package <code>FAdist</code> instead works perfectly fine.</p>
