Update to write() documentation in base

[cdputnam]

I apologize if this is not the correct place to suggest a documentation update to R base functions, but it was not clear to me where else I should do so.

The write() function, which is a wrapper to cat(), says the following about the append option:

if TRUE the data x are appended to the connection.

The cat() function has the following to say about append:

logical. Only used if the argument file is the name of file (and not a connection or "|cmd"). If TRUE output will be appended to file; otherwise, it will overwrite the contents of file.

It appears the the append option in write() actually follows the behavior of cat(), at least in response to a connection. Should the append option in write() contain the same comments as in cat()? The description in cat() allowed to figure out my problems when calling write() on a connection with append=TRUE.

Thanks.
