\alias{unlist2}
\title{A replacement for unlist() that does not mangle the names}
\description{
\code{unlist2} is a replacement for \code{base::unlist()} that
does not mangle the names.
}
\usage{
unlist2(x, recursive=TRUE, use.names=TRUE, what.names="inherited")
}
\arguments{
\item{x, recursive, use.names}{See \code{?unlist}.}
\item{what.names}{\code{"inherited"} or \code{"full"}.}
}
\details{
Use this function if you don't like the mangled names returned
by the standard \code{unlist} function from the base package.
Using \code{unlist} with annotation data is dangerous and it is
highly recommended to use \code{unlist2} instead.

\examples{
x <- list(A=c(b=-4, 2, b=7), B=3:-1, c(a=1, a=-2), C=list(c(2:-1, d=55), e=99))
unlist(x)
unlist2(x)
library(hgu95av2.db)
egids <- c("10", "100", "1000")
egids2pbids <- mget(egids, revmap(hgu95av2ENTREZID))
egids2pbids
unlist(egids2pbids) # 1001, 1002, 10001 and 10002 are not real
# Entrez ids but are the result of unlist()
# mangling the names!
unlist2(egids2pbids) # much cleaner! yes the names are not unique
# but at least they are correct...
