# ========================================================================
# cbind  -  column bind for rvs

# Note: It's inconvenient that we cannot call the generic (default) cbind
#       if class attributes are set.

# DEBUG: cbind(1, rvnorm(1), rvnorm(1)) causes an error msg
#   In cbind(v, unclass(x[[i]]), deparse.level = deparse.level) :
#     number of rows of result is not a multiple of vector length (arg 2)
