[R] recycling rule

[Research Division]

I was illustrating the use of R to some of my students 
here in the Philippines: 
The following question was posed:  "is there any 
motivation for the development
of the recycling rule for vector 
manipulation, especially for fractional replication?"
I had no idea how to answer this. 

Any ideas will be most appreciated.  Thanks.
