paste(character(0), collapse="", recycle0=FALSE) should be ""
...rsally adopted
in R 11.0.0 ;-)
So if we have to do with what we have IMO (1) is the scheme that makes
most sense although I agree that it can do some surprising things for
some unusual combinations of vector lengths. It's the scheme I adhere to
in my own binary operations e.g. in S4Vector::pcompare().
The modest proposal of the 'recycle0' argument is only to let the user
switch from recycling scheme (2) to (1) if they're not happy with scheme
(2) (I'm one of them). Switching to scheme (3) or to a new custom scheme
would be a completely different proposal.

Yes, indeed. This was the purpose of introducing 'recycle0'.

Yes I'd expect that too. But the **collapse** operation in paste() has
never been about collapsing **multiple** character vectors together.
