That's a good idea, though it makes the
implementation/documentation very slightly more complicated.
I'm interested to get more feedback on my other questions,
notably the only about *changing* vapply() (on the C-level) to
behave "logical" in the sense of adding one dim(.)ension in
those cases, the FUN.VALUE (result prototype) has a dim().
