Do you really have a class called "default" ????

Using "<func>.default" is an S3 concept which in S4 is replaced
by defining methods for "ANY".


In Matrix, we have

\alias{dim<-,Matrix-method}

and that works fine
-- though we don't have a \usage{.} there, since this really is in 
Matrix-class.Rd
