With today's r-devel, help(seq) says: The last generates the sequence '1, 2', ..., 'length(along)', unless the argument is of length 1 when it is interpreted as a 'length' argument.
referring to the usage seq(along) This is not true for 0: > seq(0) [1] 1 0 > seq(length = 0) numeric(0) I'm not sure what the intended behaviour of seq(0) is, but either seq() or the help page should be fixed. Also, the exception (naturally) holds only for _numeric_ arguments of length 1.
