[Rd] Matrices given to pt? [was: [R] for loops and counters]

2006-07-15 Thread François Pinard
Hi, people. I was a bit intrigued by the message quoted below. Indeed, if pt() is given a matrix, it returns a matrix. Should this feature be documented? ?pt speaks about a vector of quantiles, and says nothing about the type of what it returns. The same might presumably apply to other
