\usage{
as_vector(.x, .type = NULL)

simplify(.x, .type = NULL)

simplify_all(.x, .type = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{.x}{A list of vectors}

\item{.type}{Can be a vector mold specifying both the type and the
length of the vectors to be concatenated, such as \code{numeric(1)}
or \code{integer(4)}. Alternatively, it can be a string describing
the type, one of: "logical", "integer", "double", "complex",
"character" or "raw".}

These functions were superseded in purrr 1.0.0 in favour of
\code{list_simplify()} which has more consistent semantics based on vctrs
principles:
\itemize{
\item \code{as_vector(x)} is now \code{list_simplify(x)}
\item \code{simplify(x)} is now \code{list_simplify(x, strict = FALSE)}
\item \code{simplify_all(x)} is \code{map(x, list_simplify, strict = FALSE)}
}

Superseded functions will not go away, but will only receive critical
bug fixes.
