Let's not go round in circles. I already pointed this out in my earlier
reply to Winston. It has been snipped from the thread history so I'll
repeat it here:

"You will also need to document the generic function in your package. A
minimal functioning help page that cross-references to the dplyr package
should be sufficient"

Duncan gives more details on the cross reference in his reply.
