Hi Gabor,
In strictly reading the help files for both nrow() and row(), the 'x' argument
in the former case is "a vector, array, data frame, or NULL.", whereas in the
latter case it is &quo
vector is about the same as a 1-D matrix. Why
use length(vec) and not nrow(vec) or something

The fact that it is consistent with the documentation is not the
point. The point is that the design itself is inconsistent.

Hi Gabor,
In strictly reading the help files for both nrow() and row(), the 'x' argument
in the former case is "a vector, array, data frame, or NULL.", whereas in the
latter case it is "a matrix-like object, that is one with a two-dimensional
dim.".
Thus, I would expect row() to fail on a >= 3
