Because the original implementation was based on
Reduce()
we've accidentally implemented the originalaccumulate()
function with automatic simplification. I think ideallyaccumulate()
should always return a list and simplification would be achieved by piping intosimplify()
. However that would probably be too large a breaking change. Instead,accumulate()
now has a.simplify
argument to optionally disable simplification.accumulate2()
gains this argument as well. The default is set toTRUE
even though it didn't use to automatically simplify. This is because consistency withaccumulate()
seems more important. This is a behaviour change but I don't see any use ofaccumulate2()
on CRAN. Closes #774.
