A table without names displays like a vector:

    > unname(table(2:3))
    [1] 1 1 1

and preserves the table class (as with unname in general):

    > dput(unname(table(2:3)))
    structure(c(1L, 1L), .Dim = 2L, class = "table")

Does that make sense?  R is not consistent in its treatment of such unname'd
tables:

In plot, they are considered erroneous input:

    > plot(unname(table(2:3)))
    Error in xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) :
    'x' and 'y' lengths differ

but in melt, they act as though they have names 1:n:

   > melt(unname(table(2:3)))
         indicies value
    1        1     1
    2        2     1

(By the way, is the spelling error built into too much code to be
corrected?)

            -s

PS What is the standard way of extracting just the underlying vector?
c(unname(...)) works -- is that what is recommended?
