What do backticks do in R?

Viewed 17919

I'm trying to understand what backticks do in R.

From what I can tell, this is not explained in the ?Quotes documentation page for R.

For example, at the R console:

"[["
# [1] "[["
`[[`
# .Primitive("[[")

It seem to be returning the equivalent to:

get("[[")
