I am referring to base::rowsum(), not rowSums(). For some reason I cannot
access it's help on my computer but the online documentation (R-devel
version) states:
Value
A matrix or data frame containing the sums. There will be one row per
unique value of group
Period. Above, the argument

If you're referring to base::rowSums, the 'value' section
'rowsum()' seems to add row names to the resulting matrix, corresponding to
the respective 'group' values. This is very handy, but it is not
documented. Should the documentation mention it so it could be relied upon
as part of API?
Cheers,
Ott
