Hi All,

I see this in the NEWS for R 3.1.0: 

type.convert() (and hence by default read.table()) returns a character vector or factor when representing a numeric input as a double would lose accuracy. Similarly for complex inputs.

This behavior seems likely to surprise users.  Would it be possible to issue a warning when this occurs?

Aside: I’m very happy to see the new ’s’ and ‘f’ browser (debugger) commands!
