No need to have done anything differently. I commented on the code
in hopes that it might be helpful for others learning S4 stuff -- so I
think the discussion is useful even if it isn't your real code :-)

If you switched to _className, then there would be no S3 confusion.
There are performance implications in doing things this way, but I
agree it is convenient.
