[Rd] aperm doesn't copy attributes

[Liaw, Andy]

In the "Value" section of ?aperm, I see:

`... In each case other attributes are copied from a.'

However:

R> f <- factor(sample(letters[1:2], 10, replace=TRUE))
R> dim(f) <- c(5, 2)
R> t(f)
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,] a    a    b    b    b   
[2,] a    a    b    a    a   
Levels: a b
R> aperm(f, c(2, 1))
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]    1    1    2    2    2
[2,]    1    1    2    1    1

Examining attributes() of the above shows that the result from aperm
only retained the dim attribute.

Does this qualify as a bug?
