5. SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN R AND S

1. In R, "factor" and "ordered factor" are primitive vector types.
This means in particular that they can be shaped as arrays.

2. In R a list is a Lisp-style list composed of dotted pairs, rather
than a vector of generic elements as in S. This means that list
subscripting can be rather inefficient. However, lists are rarely
large and so we have not (yet) bothered to implement a matching
"generic vector" type, even though this could be quite useful.

Sincerely,
The R Core.
