Hi, Gabor, Paul, et al.:
For classes that did not supply a ca method, I'd rather see the
default being to start with the corresponding c method followed by an
effort to preserve attributes to the maximum extent feasible. I'm not
sure the best defaults, but at the moment, I would

got the response that it is documented behavior; however, whether its
documented or not is hardly the point -- its undesirable that tzone is
lost when using c.

I'm with Gabor on this. I naively would not expect c() to strip
attributes generally, and I've been surprise more than once to find the
time zone attribute stripped when I did not expect that.
Might it make sense to add an argument like
keepAttributes=FALSE to the c function?
