[R] Coercing a list to integer?

[Jacques VESLOT]

i am not sure i clearly understood...

do you want to coerce a vector into a list of its elements ?! like this:
split(1:5,1:5)

It apparentely loads as a list, but not  the kind of list you can use. Oh no, it converts into a list that  cannot be converted into an integer, numeric, or vector, only a matrix,  whihc is useless without integers.
