[Rd] Add-on argument in sample()

[Millot Gael]

Hi.

I have a problem with the default behavior of sample(), which performs sample(1:x) when x is a single value.
This behavior is well explained in ?sample.
However, this behavior is annoying when the number of value is not predictable. Would it be possible to add an argument
that desactivates this and perform the sampling on a single value ? Examples:
> sample(10, size = 1, replace = FALSE)
10

> sample(10, size = 3, replace = TRUE)
10 10 10

> sample(10, size = 3, replace = FALSE)
Error

Many thanks for your help.

Best wishes,

Gael Millot.
