name_rows

Plyr functions ignore row names, so this function provides a way to preserve
them by converting them to an explicit column in the data frame. After the
plyr operation, you can then apply <code>name_rows</code> again to convert back
from the explicit column to the implicit <code>rownames</code>.

manip

A set of tools that solves a common set of problems: you need
to break a big problem down into manageable pieces, operate on each
piece and then put all the pieces back together.  For example, you
might want to fit a model to each spatial location or time point in
your study, summarise data by panels or collapse high-dimensional
arrays to simpler summary statistics. The development of 'plyr' has
been generously supported by 'Becton Dickinson'.
