R/S Difference - split

[Robert Gentleman]

The difference is more fundamental:
   split(1:10,1:2)
   
 yields
 
  $"1":
[1] 1 3 5 7 9

$"2":
[1]  2  4  6  8 10

in Splus and an error in R. R is not recycling the factor. I'll see
about fixing this. Splus says that if group is shorter it should be
replicated to fill things up and if it is longer a warning will be
printed that some of the groups will have length zero. Any reasons
not to be compatible?
