[ESS] R help for S4 not opening in help buffer

Dear list,

With ESS, when we type in something like "?topic" to get help on a
topic, ESS opens the documentation in a new buffer.  However, with S4
classes and methods, the documentation gets printed in the console.
Try:

class?matrix
method?show("matrix")

Just wanted to bring this up to see if anyone will implement it
sometime in the near future.  Thanks.

Vinh
