Details
An experimental tool to convert xts objects into environments
for simplifying use withing the standard R formula/data paradigm.
Value

extracted by column from x. Note that environments
do not preserve (or have knowledge) of column position, a.k.a order.
Examples
# NOT RUN {
x <- xts(1:10, Sys.Date()+1:10)
colnames(x) <- "X"
y <- xts(1:10, Sys.Date()+1:10)
colnames(x) <- "Y"
xy <- cbind(x,y)
colnames(xy)
e <- as.environment(xy) # currently using xts-style positive k
ls(xy)
ls.str(xy)
# }
