Hi,
Is there any equivalent for ifelse (except if (cond) expr1 else expr2) which takes an atomic element as argument but returns vector since ifelse returns an object of the same length as its argument?

x = c(1,2,3)
y = c(4,5,6,7)
z = 3

ifelse(z <= 3,x,y)

would return x and not 1

I worry that this is too simple, so wonder if you have expressed your intent clearly.

[1] 1 2 3
