Was hoping for an almost record old bug fix (older than some R users!), but
apparently the documentation bug is only a decade old (maybe only older than
some precious R users)

The documentation of ?lapply includes:
> lapply and vapply are primitive functions.
However, both evaluate to FALSE in `is.primitive()`:
is.primitive(vapply)
#FALSE
is.primitive(lapply)
#FALSE
It appears that they are not primitives and that the documentation
might be outdated.
