With respect to duplicated.data.frame taking account of row names to return
all the rows as unique: thinking about this some more, I can see that making
sense in isolation, but it's at odds with the usual behaviour of duplicated for
other classes, e.g. primitive vectors, where it doesn't take account of names.

duplicated.matrix is an interesting one. I think a similar change would make
sense, because it would have the dimensions that people would expect when using
the default MARGIN = 1. However, it could be argued that it's not a needed
change, because the Value section of its documentation only guarantees the
dimensions of the output when using MARGIN = 0. In that case, duplicated.matrix
does indeed return the expected 5x0 matrix for your example:
str(duplicated(matrix(0, 5, 0), MARGIN = 0))# logi[1:5, 0 ]
