univariate ar dimension

[Paul Gilbert]

I have now cleaned out most of the old R-bug work-arounds in my DSE
library and will soon have a version for CRAN, but with 0.90 imminent I
will probably wait for that. The remaining mask I use is a replacement
for ar in the ts library, to make $ar in the result an array rather than
a vector even in the univariate case. The reason for doing this is to
avoid always needing to code the univariate case as a special exception.
The change should not affect any univariate code which assumes the
result is a vector, since an Nx1x1 array can still be indexed as a
vector. My fix is consistent with Splus (3.3), however, I am not sure if
the ts library result is considered a feature or a bug. It would be good
to resolve this for 0.90 so I can either remove my fix or put in a more
permanent work-around.

# the second to last line is a fix for ar in the ts library
ar <- function (x, aic = TRUE, order.max = NULL,
         method = c("yule-walker", "burg", "ols", "mle"),
         na.action = na.fail, series = deparse(substitute(x)),  ...)
{ # it is not clear why quote around "y=w" are necessary.
    res <- switch(match.arg(method),
            "yule-walker" = ar.yw(x, aic = aic, order.max = order.max,
                            na.action = na.action, series = series,
