Is this a feature which is useful in some applications? IMHO the difference between vectors and 1-dimensional arrays is really annoying and I had already several bugs in my code, because I mixed these up. Is it possible in future versions of R that R does not differentiate between vectors and 1-dimensional arrays (e.g. by treating all vectors as 1-dimensional arrays)?
