什么文档告诉我们“[”可以用作函数?

What documentation tells us that "[" can be used as a function?

this question suggest that the best way to extract a subset from a list is to use something like sapply(mylist, "[", y). I found this rather disturbing, because I have never seen anything to suggest that we can use "[" as if it's a function. Where is this documented? I checked ?'[[' for my version, 3.6.3, but I can't see any reference to this functionality in that documentation的几个答案。

R 中的所有运算符都是函数。这记录在语言定义中:

Like the other operators, indexing is really done by functions, and one could have used `[`(x, 2) instead of x[2].
