proposed change to documentation for new feature

keep.rownames: If ‘...’ is a ‘matrix’ or ‘data.frame’, TRUE will retain the rownames of that object in a column named ‘rn’; a length 1 character will retain the rownames in a column by that name. Anything else, including the default of FALSE, will discard rownames.

Yes indeed. Thanks @and3k. Have added #575 to 1.9.6 milestone. Should be quite straightforward to implement that feature.
