I often find myself using c() just to strip attributes when manipulating arrays in simulation. c() is probably already quite complex function, "keepAttributes=FALSE" would complicate it even more and impact the speed. Given that, I wonder why there is no dedicated function to strip attributes. Am I missing anything?
