[Rd] x[c()] <- value sets the mode to mode(value)

[Henrik Bengtsson]

Only for the record,

an unnecessary overhead when nothing is assigned:

> x <- integer(10)
> str(x)
 int [1:10] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x[c()] <- 1.0;
> str(x)
 num [1:10] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

'x' could equally well have renamed untouched.
