[Rd] Question about colnames behavior

[Erich Neuwirth]

The following code

zzz<-1:10
dim(zzz)<-10
rownames(zzz)
colnames(zzz)

yields NULL for the rownames and colnames calls.
Let us set rownames

rownames(zzz)<-1:10

Now rownames(zzz) returns the expected result, but colnames(zzz)
produces an error:
Error in dn[[2]] : subscript out of bounds

So given a onedimensional structure the return behavior of colnames
is different depending on the fact if rownames are set or not.

Should the behavior of colnames be changed to make the result
independent from this fact?
