Is the following expected behaviour for a date used in
an ifelse function?
> date <- Sys.Date()
> date
[1] "2007-12-30"
> ifelse(TRUE, date-1, date)
[1] 13876
> ifelse(FALSE, date-1, date)
[1] 13877
> ifelse(TRUE, as.character(date-1), date)
[1] "2007-12-29"
> if (TRUE) {date}
[1] "2007-12-30"
It would seem more natural to me if a date produced
the same format in an if and an ifelse function.
Moreover, as far as I can see the ifelse function
consists of hardly anything but two if functions.
