RFC: sapply() limitation from vector to matrix, but not further

On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 3:39 AM, Martin Maechler

My proposal -- implemented and "make check" tested --
is to add an optional argument ?'ARRAY'
which allows

sapply(v, myF, y = 2*(1:5), ARRAY=TRUE)

It would reduce the proliferation of arguments if the simplify=
argument were extended to allow this, e.g. simplify = "array" or
perhaps simplify = n would allow a maximum of n dimensions.
