Mget cannot get a primitive function like get

Question

I can use getto get a primitive function, for example:

get('$') 
.Primitive("$")

However, mgetit failed:

mget('$')
Error: value for ‘$’ not found

Why? How to fix it?

Answer 1

The default for is getused inherits = TRUE(I think, based on documents, for historical reasons), and the default for mgetis inherits = FALSE. Therefore use inherits = TRUEshould make it work like get.
