Well, in the end your repeated good reasoning has prevailed: I've committed a change (to R-devel; most probably in time to be ported to 4.0.1 beta). I think this implements the recycle0 = TRUE behavior you have been advocating for, in svn r78591 (2020-05-27 19:45:07 +0200) with message paste(), paste0(): collapse=<string> always gives a string (also w/ `recycle0=TRUE`) Best regards, Martin
