Question about Calculation of Cross Product

The crossprod function in base R implements the MATRIX cross product, more familiarly known as "matrix multiplication".

The term "crossprod" is thereby rather misleading, nicht wahr?

Wouldn't it be *nice* to put into the help file a wee warning telling
the young naive user (explicitly) that this is *not* the "usual" 3-D
vector cross product? :-)

     cheers,
