DelayedArray

DelayedArray vector multiplication reports unnecessary column name
For example:
library(DelayedArray)
x <- DelayedArray(matrix(rnorm(100), ncol=5))
y <- 1:5
x %*% y
## <20 x 1> matrix of class DelayedMatrix and type "double":
## y
## [1,] 10.3236828
## [2,] -1.2810522
## [3,] 2.4363280
## [4,] 0.1778817
## [5,] -6.2913926
## ... .
## [16,] -2.9174259
## [17,] 3.5204951
## [18,] 8.4410877
## [19,] 0.5144509
## [20,] 4.9493108
as.matrix(x) %*% y # for comparison
## [,1]
## [1,] 10.3236828
## [2,] -1.2810522
## [3,] 2.4363280
## [4,] 0.1778817
## [5,] -6.2913926
## [6,] -16.0723576
## [7,] 21.2219630
## etc.
Looks like the fault of the various cbind(y) and rbind(y) calls, e.g., at
https://github.com/Bioconductor/DelayedArray/blob/f98fafea313f1a21f3447ce15f7b20f9ff07c639/R/DelayedMatrix-utils.R#L333
which capture the name of the input variable, for whatever reason. Probably should have set deparse.level=0.
