Hi,
Special behavior of sample(x, ...) when length(x) is 1 is of course
a bad feature. I think it pre-dates sample.int() which is what people
should use these days if they want the behavior of sample(x, ...) when
length(x) is 1. And because we now have sample.int(), this feature
could in theory b

Wow! R has a lot of surprising f
I don't like the idea of having a length-1 dim attribute trigger some
behavior of sample. (Should a length-2 dim cause it to sample
rows of a matrix, as unique() and duplicated() do?).
S+'s sample() had another argument, 'n', that could be used to
specify the size of the population to sample from

Just to clarify, primitive (C-level) generics do not support dispatch
on basic classes (like character). This is for performance (no need to
consider dispatch on non-objects) and for sanity (in general,
redefining fundamental behaviors is dangerous). It is of course
possible to define a "+" method
Went ahead and did it directly, cf. PR #16432

Hi.
I have a problem with the default behavior of sample(), which performs
sample(1:x) when x is a single value.
This behavior is well explained in ?sample.
However, this behavior is annoying when the n
