[Rd] table(factor(x), exclude=NULL) (PR#11494)

[David.Duffy at qimr.edu.au]

Hi. I don't know if this a bug or just annoying to me:

> x <- c(1,2,3,NA)

> table(x, exclude=NULL)
x
    1    2    3 <NA>
    1    1    1    1

> table(factor(x), exclude=NULL)

1 2 3
1 1 1

I don't think many people use factor(x, exclude=NULL): it is not the 
default handling of character data by read.table().

Cheers, David Duffy.
