  But can "numeric vector" in the "R-specific technical sense" also mean 
a vector of integer (representation) values? It passes is.numeric() and 
is.vector():

[1] TRUE


  Unless by the "R-specific technical sense of 'numeric vector'" you 
dont mean something for which is.numeric() and is.vector() are both 
true. Which is perverse. But then large chunks of R are. Anyway, is this 
right:

is.RSpecificTechnicalSenseNumericVector=function(v){is.numeric(v) & 
is.double(v)}
