(Sorry if this was posted twice. I seem to be having some email issues.)

Can the arguments nsim and seed be passed as part of ... in the new 
simulate generic in R-2.2.0alpha package stats?

This would potentially allow me to use the stats generic rather than the 
one I define in dse. There are contexts where nsim and seed do not make 
sense. I realize that the default arguments could be ignored, but it 
does not really make sense to introduce a new generic with that in mind. 
(I would also prefer that the "object" argument was called "model" but 
this is less important.)
