1. This is not a bug (as you seem to realize), so it should not be sent to
r-bugs.
2. You seem to want the drop=FALSE argument to [], as in FAQ 7.5

Good Day,
I can understand that after indexing a single column in a matrix, R will
return a vector instead of the single column. However, during the conversion
to a vector, the column name is lost.
I was wondering if it would be better to have R return a single column matrix
(retaining the column name), instead of automatically converting to a vector.
Users could use as.vector() to convert afterwards.
Thanks,
CMHJ
