Thanks for the clear answer Stephen and thanks to all the guys that pointed out my misunderstanding about the distinction between object of type integer" and "integer-valued object".
I'm sorry for submitting to the R-bugs list something that is very clear for all the members of the list, but it was not clear for me after reading the help, because I was testing if a particular result had a decimal part or not, and it seemed natural to me to use the 'is.integer' function instead of a combination of other operations. Probably, and only if the guys of r-devel deem it necessary, it could be good to add a small example at the end of the 'is.integer' function showing that is.integer(1) is FALSE (or the example mentioned by Martin), which can avoid this misunderstanding to people with less knowledge about storage modes in R. Thank you very much, and in the future I will use R-help or maybe R-devel.
