Hello,
Yes, there is even an old discussion on this on r-devel, dated August,
10 2013.

Hope this
Thank you Peter and Spencer. That clears things up. Also since no one
responded the second part of my question, I'm still wondering if it was
noted that there is a hyperlink in the dbinom help file (?dbinom) that

[R] density vs. mass for discrete probability functions
Dear R users,
While experimenting with the dbinom() function and reading its
documentation (?dbinom) it reads that "dbinom gives the density" but
shouldn't it be called "mass&qu

Mathematically, you can bring discrete and continuous distributions on a common
footing by defining probability functions as densities wrt. counting measure.
You don't really need Radon-Nikodym derivatives to understand the idea, just
the fact
