I've been working with raw vectors quite a bit and was wondering if the R team might comment on where they see raw vector support going in the long run. Is the intent that 'raw' will eventually become a first class data type on the same level as 'integer'? Or should 'raw' have more limited support, by design?
For example, with very minor changes to subassign.c to implement some automatic coercions, raw vectors can become arguments to ifelse() and can be members of data frames. Would this be desirable? -- David Hinds ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
