 kronecker, with make.dimnames=TRUE uses a hardwired sep=":" in the line

 For an application in which dimnames arise from an n-way array, where
 different dimensions have
 different roles, and I would like to be able to use kronecker in the form

 kronecker(A, B, make.dimnames=TRUE, sep='/')

 All this requires is to change the following two lines:

 kronecker <- function (X, Y, FUN = "*", make.dimnames = FALSE, sep=":"
 ...)
 {
  ...
            tmp <- outer(dnx[[i]], dny[[i]], FUN = "paste", sep = sep)
}


 Otherwise, I have to reproduce the logic inside kronecker() in my
 application function.

Or add one line of code:

res <- kronecker(m1,m3,make.dimnames=T)
dimnames(res) <-
         lapply( dimnames(res), sub, pattern=":", replacement="/" )

HTH,

Chuck

p.s. your suggestion could break code that others may have written like

        kronecker( letters[1:3], diag(LETTERS[1:2]), paste, sep='*' )

make that

        kronecker( letters[1:3], diag(LETTERS[1:2]), paste )
