frame_dots() extracts dots from a frame and
dots() extracts dots from its arguments. The
_lsp() versions return a pairlist that is ready to be
spliced into a call, while the regular versions return a regular
list that is usually easier to work with.
frame_dots(frame = NULL)
frame_dots_lsp(frame = NULL)
dots(...)
dots_lsp(...)frame_dots() and frame_dots_lsp() never fail, even if
the frame does not contain dots. Instead they return an empty list
or NULL respectively.
