[R] functions as arguments to ther functions with inlinedocs

Dear R community,
I have a problem when I use functions as default values for argumnents
in other functions. When I use curly brackets { here, I can not create a
package with inlinedocs. It will give me the error when using
package.skeleton() in my package structure:
Error in parse(text = utxt) : <text>:4:0: unexpected end of input
For example:
dummyfunction = function(filters = function(x) {b = 0; x > b} ))
{
# rest of code here
return(filters)
}
This seems to me as a legal function declaration but creates the above
mentioned error. Is this an error of inlinedocs or do I misunderstand
the R language? Or is there another way of using functions in such a way
as arguments? In this case I could easily define this filters argument
inside the function for cases when it is not supplied as an argument but
I have some more complex functions where I really need to define
something sequential as an argument like:
dummyfunction = function(filters = {a = 1; b > a; b}) {print('test')}
I hope I could clarify my problem.
Thanks a lot
Jannis
