The have been a few prods to create an S-like matrix class for R. A
major reason for having a matrix class seems to be that people get
bitten by the default behavior of the drop= parameter to "[". That
being the case does it make sense to change the semantics of "["
rather than introducing a new class?
I'm just wondering because I'm in a "smaller is better" kind of mood
after having been delving into the "lm" code and thinking about how
big R is becoming ...
