Hello, I also want to report 2 missed cases of stringsAsFactors=TRUE in base:
1. grid.expand() still uses hard stringsAsFactors=TRUE in its arguments. 2. as.data.frame.table() also keeps factors after conversion from table.

Thanks a lot for testing R 4.0.0 alpha/beta, noticing and alerting us about it. This will be changed ASAP. ... and it will benefit the whole R user community if quite a few good R users (as most readers of 'R-devel') would start using 'R 4.0.0 beta' routinely now --- thanks a lot in advance!
