Hello,

Below is what I got running the examples from `setClass'.  Could somebody
please help explain why the last `setIs' call is returning the warning and
whether this is expected?


R>      setClass("track",
+               representation(x="numeric", y="numeric"))
[1] "track"
R>      setClass("trackCurve",
+               representation("track", smooth = "numeric"))
[1] "trackCurve"
R>      setClass("trackMultiCurve",
+               representation(x="numeric", y="matrix", smooth="matrix"),
+               prototype = list(x=numeric(), y=matrix(0,0,0),
+                                smooth= matrix(0,0,0)))
[1] "trackMultiCurve"
R>      try(setIs("trackMultiCurve", "trackCurve",
+          test = function(obj) {ncol(slot(obj, "y")) == 1}))
Warning message:
there is no automatic definition for as(object, "trackCurve") <- value when object has class "trackMultiCurve" and no 'replace' argument was supplied; replacement will be an error in: makeExtends(class1, class2, coerce, test, replace, by, classDef1 = classDef,  
R>      setIs("trackMultiCurve", "trackCurve",

+           new("trackCurve",
+               x = slot(obj, "x"),
+               y = as.numeric(slot(obj,"y")),
