[Rd] c.noquote() weirdness

[Ray Brownrigg]

I haven't been able to get anywhere tracking this down.  It seems that c.noquote() does 
something strange with its third (and subsequent) parameters:

R-2.7.0 under NetBSD, R-2.6.0 under Solaris, and R-2.8.0 (unstable) (2008-06-10 r45893) 
under WinXP, I get:

> c(noquote('z'), 'y', 'x', '*')
[1] z y x * x *
> 

or:
> c(noquote('z'), 'y', '***', letters)
 [1] z   y   *** a   b   c   d   e   f   g   h   i   j   k   l   m   n   o   p
[20] q   r   s   t   u   v   w   x   y   z   *** a   b   c   d   e   f   g   h
[39] i   j   k   l   m   n   o   p   q   r   s   t   u   v   w   x   y   z

Again, I am only the messenger (so don't shoot me :-)).
