Feature request: grouped operations with vectorised attributes

[Enchufa2]

This is a reminder about issue #2773, locked by the bot. I briefly exposed the case there, but FYI further motivation and analysis can be found in this vignette. The TLDR is that dplyr works fine with vectorised attributes except for grouped operations and joins (cc @edzer).

I'm not sure why you are re-filing. As I said, this is on our long term to do list. Another issue does not help.

[Enchufa2]

Simply because more than a year has passed, and I would like to ask whether there are any prospects on what that long term could mean, or any action line open in which we could help.

I would have asked in the old issue, but it's locked. Moreover, it's locked as "resolved", and it's not.

No clue why the bot is locking as resolve – working on that now (my unlock relock was just to make sure that threads were lockable without categories). Going forward there will be a message describing the intended use of the bot (it only applies to closed issues), we just didn't want to have it mass commenting for the initial roll-out.
