[Rd] truncate

[Paul Gilbert]

I see in the devel snapshot there is a new generic method

> truncate
function (con, ...)
UseMethod("truncate")

which conflicts with a generic method in one of my packages:

> truncate
function (x, start = NULL, end = NULL)
{
    UseMethod("truncate")
}

I don't think there is a problem, but there used to be a recommendation to use the
same name for the first argument in generic and specific methods. Is that still
important?
