[R] Improvement: function cut

[Andrew Simmons]

Regarding your first point, argument 'include.lowest' already handles this
specific case, see ?.bincode

Your second point, maybe it could be helpful, but since both 'cut.default'
and '.bincode' return NA if a value isn't within a bin, you could make
something like this on your own.
Might be worth pitching to R-bugs on the wishlist.
