[Rd] as.vector in R-devel loaded 3/3/2016

[Morgan, Martin]

I see as below, where getGeneric and getMethod imply a different signature; the signature is mode="any" for both cases in R version 3.2.3 Patched (2016-01-28 r70038)I don't know how to reproduce Jeff's error, though.

> library(Matrix)
> as.vector
function (x, mode = "any") 
.Internal(as.vector(x, mode))
<bytecode: 0xe79f88>
<environment: namespace:base>
> getGeneric("as.vector")
standardGeneric for "as.vector" defined from package "base"

function (x, mode) 
standardGeneric("as.vector")
<bytecode: 0x29a6bd0>
<environment: 0x299f988>
Methods may be defined for arguments: x
Use  showMethods("as.vector")  for currently available ones.
> selectMethod("as.vector", "ANY")
Method Definition (Class "internalDispatchMethod"):

function (x, mode) 
.Internal(as.vector(x, mode))
<environment: base>

Signatures:
        x    
target  "ANY"

Indeed.

The problem ... I also have stumbled over ..
is that I'm sure Jeff is accidentally loading a different
version of 'Matrix' than the one that is part of R-devel.

Jeff you must accidentally be loading a version Matrix made with
R 3.2.x in R 3.3.0  and that will fail with the as.vector()
mismatch error message.

(and IIRC, you also get such an error message if you load a
 3.3.0-built version of Matrix into a non-3.3.0 version of R).
