When passing lists to hms, if you pass hour, minutes, seconds, and days it returns a single value

[808sAndBR]

When passing lists to just hour, minutes, and seconds (or any individually) it returns a vector of the same length:

> hms(1:10,1:10,1:10)
01:01:01
02:02:02
03:03:03
04:04:04
05:05:05
06:06:06
07:07:07
08:08:08
09:09:09
10:10:10

But if you also include a list of days, it will return one number:

> hms(1:10,1:10,1:10,1:10)
1375:55:55

In a dataframe it does behaves similarly, filling the column with all the same number:

> foo <- data.frame(sec  = 1:10,
                    min  = 1:10,
                    hour = 1:10,
                    day  = 1:10)

> foo %>% dplyr::mutate(hms(sec,min,hour,day))
    sec min hour day hms(sec, min, hour, day)
1    1   1    1   1               1375:55:55
2    2   2    2   2               1375:55:55
3    3   3    3   3               1375:55:55
4    4   4    4   4               1375:55:55
5    5   5    5   5               1375:55:55
6    6   6    6   6               1375:55:55
7    7   7    7   7               1375:55:55
8    8   8    8   8               1375:55:55
9    9   9    9   9               1375:55:55
10  10  10   10  10               1375:55:55

I would have expected to receive a vector of equal length when also passing days (or to get an error telling me not to do that, similarly to if you try to pass just seconds and days).

I'm not sure how often this use case would come up. I came across it while trying to make hms vectors to test with in another project so I am perhaps outside of your normal scope. Wanted to give you a heads up though in case it's helpful.

Thanks for the great package!
