Full_Name: Simeon Bird Version: 2.5.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (131.111.200.200) In the manual "The R Language Definition", section 3.3.2 reads: "3.3.2 Propagation of names propagation of names (first one wins, I think - also if it has no names?? ?? first one *with names* wins, recycling causes shortest to lose names)" I'm not really sure what this is talking about.

Several bits of the document have that kind of "proto-text" style and need to be rephrased in ordinary English. What that particular paragraph was meant to describe is this:
c(A=1)+c(b=2)
A 3
c(A=1)+c(b=2,c=3)
b c 3 4
c(1)+c(b=2)
b 3
