title: What is a function that allows character vector creation without using quotation marks?
body: <p>I remember seeing someone using a function that allowed you to create character vectors where the items were each one word strings as follows (I don't know what the function is called so I'm calling it c_special here):</p>
  
  <pre><code>a.random.vector &lt;- c_special(hat, cat, bat)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>rather than having to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>a.random.vector &lt;- c("hat", "cat", "bat")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It'd be quite useful for me right now as I'm having to manually write out a lot of variable names (~1000) as part of a testing procedure and adding in the quotation marks is not very fun. Does anyone know what the function and package that has this in is or did I dream this up?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I'm sure that this function is highly inefficient but I'm only using it for calling variable names so I'll happily trade that for less typing. </p>
  
  <p>Edit: if I can't track this down I'll probably just use a text macro</p>
