R-alpha: iris

Ross Ihaka writes:

Also, why is the iris data set shipped with R different from the one
that comes with S-PLUS?

Do you mean the numbers in the data, or the fact that we have a data
frame and they have a 50x4x3 array?   (I've never understood why anyone
would have structured the iris data that way ...).

The latter.  I am playing a bit with porting Brian's `class' library,
and surprisingly the tests he has use the iris data set ...

The df makes more sense, right.
