unvecvec

Mixed type vectors are useful for combining semantically similar classes. Some examples of semantically related classes include time across different granularities (e.g. daily, monthly, annual) and probability distributions (e.g. Normal, Uniform, Poisson). These groups of vector types typically share common statistical operations which vary in results with the attributes of each vector. The 'vecvec' data structure facilitates efficient storage and computation across multiple vectors within the same object.

<dd>A vecvec to unvecvec (convert to its underlying vector type)</dd>
<dt>...</dt>
<dd>These dots are for future extensions and must be empty.</dd>
<dt>ptype</dt>

computing the common type across all elements of <code>x</code>. Alternatively, you
can supply <code>ptype</code> to give the output a known type.</dd></dl>
