[R] "non-visible" functions in return to methods()

[Liaw, Andy]

You mean something like ?methods, which says:

Value:

     An object of class '"MethodsFunction"', a character vector of
     function names with an '"info"' attribute. There is a 'print'
     method which marks with an asterisk any methods which are not
     visible: such functions can be examined by 'getS3method' or
     'getAnywhere'.
