Class "design" is basically a data frame with all columns as factors.
It is little use without functions to generate designs such as oa.design.
I suspect it has not been implemented because no one had a need for it:
you are of course welcome to implement it and oa.design and ... and
submit a package to CRAN.

Well, at one level it is the same as .External, so in the R-exts.texi
manual with 0.90.1.  At another level, .Internal can only be used to
add code to base R, and you follow the examples in src/main/names.c.
There is a planned section on .Internal in the draft R Language manual.

So the answer depends what you want to know: if you want to understand the
internal code, R-exts.texi will help. If you want to add code, we suggest
you use .External instead, and again R-exts.texi will help.
