Maybe it is just me, but r_ is rather unintuitive.  I would expect
something like this to be called "c" for "combine" or "concatenate." =20
This is the name used by S+ and R.

From R manual:
"""
c                    package:base                    R Documentation
Combine Values into a Vector or List
...
Examples:
     c(1,7:9)
...
