[R] not sure if this intended behavior in column referencing

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Please make your examples minimal.  That includes not using
huge variable names that make it harder to work with.

This is not a zoo object with one column.  Its is a zoo object
based on a vector.

zoo(matrix(1:3, 3, 1))

is not the same as

zoo(1:3)

The former has one column but the latter does not have two dimensions
therefore the idea of columns is meaningless.
