If we change the behavior NULL--[[--assignment from
`[[<-`(NULL, 1, "a" ) # gives "a" (*not* a list)
to
`[[<-`(NULL, 1, "a" ) # gives list("a")
then we have more consistency there *and* your bug is fixed too.
Of course, in other situations back-compatibility would be

How far would you like to go with the automatic creation of dimnames in
nested replacement operations on arrays? It currently works nicely with [<-
> a <- array(numeric(), dim=c(2,0,1)); dimnames(a)[3] <- list("One")
> str(a)
num[1:2, 0 , 1]
- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 3
..$

Hi,
I was bitten by a little incoherence in dimnames assignment or may be I
missed some point.
Here is the case. If I assign row names via dimnames(a)[[1]], when
nrow(a)=1 then an error is thrown. But if I do the same when nrow(a) > 1
it's OK. Is one of this case works unexpectedly? Both?
