isfactor()

Usage:
isfactor(arg1 [, arg2, ...])



Keywords: macros, general, glm, variables
isfactor(arg) returns True if arg is a factor created by function
factor() and false otherwise.  If arg is underfined, isfactor() returns
False.

isfactor(arg1, arg2, ..., argk) returns a LOGICAL vector, each element
of which is True or False depending on whether or not the corresponding
argument is a factor.

The principal use of isfactor() is in checking the arguments of a macro
for appropriateness.
