This extra check requires the environment variable
_R_CHECK_S3_METHODS_SHOW_POSSIBLE_ISSUES_ to be set to TRUE to show the
issues.

There are calls to S3method("as", ...) and S3method("is", ...) at the
end of the NAMESPACE for the current CRAN version of SparseM. If I
comment them out, the package passes R CMD check --as-cran without the
NOTE and seemingly with no extra problems.
