[Rd] Comments to promptMethods/promptClass

[W.E. Wolski]

Hi,

The Rd file sceleton created using function _promptMethdos_ contains
*only* the
following fields:
name
docType
alias
title
description
section{Methods}
keyword 


while _promptClass_ creates in addition fields like:
author
references
seealso
examples

and even is invalid due to:

 ~Make other sections like Warning with \section{Warning }{....} ~

A)

It a seems a little that the designer of the
prompt[Methods,Class] expects
that the documentation for a Class (..-class.Rd) 
should be more detailed
than the documentation for methods  (..-methods.Rd).
In my view it is not so.
Even if Classes have in S4, a much more prominent position than is the
case in S3, in my view the aim of R/S4 is provide cool methods. Hence, the
methods are the meat.
Therefore, I would highly appreciate if _promptMethods_ would
create such entries like author, references, seelalso, examples, value
etc.  A more trivial argument to create more entries
if calling promptMethods is: It is much
faster to delete superfluous entries than to copy or type them.

B)

I suggest that the statment:

 ~Make other sections like Warning with \section{Warning }{....} ~
is not created by a call to promptClass in the ...-class.Rd file.
It causes that a invalid Rd file is created.
If the opinion is that such a hint is valuable than something like
the following does it either and do not invalidates the Rd file.

\section{Warnign}{
 ~Make other sections like Warning, see writing R-extensions.
}
