Should enframe work more like bind_rows?

[krlmlr]

enframe() currently takes only one argument, did you mean to extend it to support multiple arguments, as in

enframe(..., .name = NULL, .value = NULL, .id = NULL)

and optionally return a three-column data frame?

[hadley]

I don't think so. This issue is mainly about aligning the function arguments

[krlmlr]

But the .id argument to bind_rows() has different semantics -- it's about adding a column that contains the group ID. In enframe() there's only one group, but we could indeed call the arguments .name and .value.

[hadley]

Hmmm, I think of it as adding a column that "identifies" the group, in the same way that you want to "identify" the observation here (and in both cases you taking the names of a vector and making an explicit column).

[hadley]

This no longer seems very important to me.
