I'm sorry Martin, but I don't understand your point here.
I'm assuming that you want the (S3) matrix, x, to be converted to an
(S4) Matrix.
However, this is not a question of method dispatch, as such.
But rather a question of type conversion (integer to numeric to complex, etc).
Specifically, can/should automatic type conversion, convert an S3 data
type to an S4 data type, even where user-defined data types are
involved?
