warnings
and its print

variable last.warning
in a pleasing form.

See the description of options("warn")
for the
circumstances under which there is a last.warning
object and
warnings()
is used. In essence this is if options(warn =
0)
and warning
has been called at least once.
It is possible that last.warning
refers to the last recorded
warning and not to the last warning, for example if options(warn)
has
been changed or if a catastrophic error occurred.
It is undocumented where last.warning
is stored nor that it is
visible, and this is subject to change. Prior to R 2.4.0 it was
stored in the workspace, but no longer.
