Dear R Gurus:
I read somewhere that functions are considered vectors.
Is this true, please?
Your question is a little ambiguous (you probably did read that, and
probably someone does consider them to be vectors), but I think the
right answer is no: when the R documentation talks about vectors, it
is not talking about functions, and the is.vector() function returns
FALSE for functions.

It could be that you read that about S+ functions,
where they can be thought of as (very special)
vectors. R functions are different in this respect.
