[Rd] help text for ave()

Dear R developers, In the help text for ave() you can read in Arguments section: "... Grouping variables, typically factors, all of the same length as x" ...and in Value: "If ... is g1,g2,". I think a description in the Arguments section of how two or more grouping variables is specified toge
