- Atomic vectors recycle to match longest column
but only if exact multiple. Protect with `I()` to prevent conversion.

- `cbind(NULL)` returns `NULL` (not a matrix). For consistency
`rbind(NULL)` also returns `NULL`.

- `rbind` on data frames matches columns **by name**
not position. Missing columns get `NA`.

- Result is always an **array** (even 1D)
class table. Convert to data frame with `as.data.frame(tbl)`.

- `cbind` on data frames calls `data.frame(...)`
not `cbind.matrix`. Mixing matrices and data frames can give unexpected results.

- If `f` is a list of factors
interaction is used; levels containing `.` can cause unexpected splits unless `sep` is changed.

- `...` args to FUN are **not** divided into cells — they apply globally
so FUN should not expect additional args with same length as X.

- `by = 0` or `by = row.names` merges on row names
adding a Row.names column.

- Default `by` is `intersect(names(x)
names(y))` — can silently merge on unintended columns if data frames share column names.

- Returns an **array** (not a data frame). Class info on return values is **discarded** (e.g.
Date objects become numeric).

- On a **data frame**
`apply` coerces to matrix via `as.matrix` first — mixed types become character.

- Data frame `[` with single column: `df[
1]` returns a **vector** (drop=TRUE default for columns)

- `subset` argument uses **non-standard evaluation** — column names are resolved in the data frame
which can silently pick up wrong variables in programmatic use. Use `[` with explicit logic in functions.

- Factor indexing: `x[f]` uses integer codes of factor `f`
not its character labels. Use `x[as.character(f)]` for label-based indexing.

- `stl` requires `s.window` (seasonal window) — must be specified
no default. `s.window = periodic` assumes fixed seasonality.
