[Rd] shouldn't seq(my_int_vector, length.out=y) be an integer vector?

[franknarf]

The class of seq(1L,length.out=6L) is numeric, which is not what I expect.
seq(1L,6L) gives an integer vector; and even seq(1,6) does, so the
departure/inconsistency when length.out is used doesn't seem desirable.

In the code for seq.default, I see

length.out <- ceiling(length.out) 

and I'd suggest wrapping this in as.integer, since apparently ceiling
doesn't return an integer. (I'm sure there's some reason for that.)
