I wonder whether there is, or should be, a way to set FALSE as the default?
There shouldn't be (apart from editing the code), because you really don't want something this basic to be unpredictable.
There have been discussions at several times about whether drop=FALSE or drop=TRUE should be the default. The decision has always been that programmers can cope either way, but that users probably don't expect mtx[,1] to be a vector, and that they definitely don't expect mtx[1,1] to be a matrix.
