Dear R,

the condition:

identical(length(x),1) returns FALSE

but

print(length(x))

returns 1 and:

is.vector(x) is TRUE.
is.integer(length(x)) is TRUE

length(x) ==1 is TRUE

I am puzzled.

But is.integer(1) is FALSE
and identical(length(x), 1L) is TRUE

... ouch ...

I guess the lesson learned is that:

identical() != ==
