[R] Concatenating two vectors into one

[Stavros Macrakis]

If you want to concatenate the *vectors*, you need 'c', which will
also coerce the elements to a common type.

If you want to concatenate the corresponding *elements* of the
vectors, you need 'paste', which will coerce them to character
strings.
