I have (toy example):

x <- list(`1` = c(7, 13, 1, 4, 10),
           `2` = c(2, 5,  14, 8, 11),
           `3` = c(6, 9, 15, 12, 3))
and

f <- factor(rep(1:3,5))

I want to create a vector v of length 15 such that the entries of v,
corresponding to level l of f are the entries of x[[l]].  I.e. I want
v to equal

     c(7, 2, 6, 13, 5, 9, 1, 14, 15, 4, 8, 12, 10, 11, 3)

I can create v "easily enough", using say, a for-loop.  It seems to me,
though, that there should be sexier (single command) way of achieving
the desired result.  However I cannot devise one.


Don't you find a for loop's naked display of intention to be sexy?
