[R-sig-Geo] raster package, values pixel order

[Oliver Soong]

Ah, thanks for pointing out the definition of cell order.  The
documentation for raster::values doesn't specify that
values(rasterLayer, format = "") always returns values in cell order,
nor does it state that values(rasterStack) or values (rasterBrick)
returns rows in cell order, so I wanted to check.
