[R] Recursive decreasing sequences

[Julian Burgos]

Hello fellow R's,

I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this.  But after digging in the 
documentation and thinking about it for a while I couldn't figure it 
out.  I need to get a decreasing recursive vector in.  I mean something 
like this: if starting at 2, and ending at 6, the vector should be

 2 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 4 5 6 5 6 6

An easy way would be to do this

    x <- integer(0)
    for (i in 5) x <- c(x, i:5)

But I need to create really long vectors (where the ending value is in 
the order of 6500) , and using loops is way to slow.  I'm looking for a 
vectorized method.  Any help will be welcomed.

Julian
