[R] forcing evaluation of a char string argument

[rballen]

I'm trying to make a function to turn a regular function into an S3 generic
one. I want myMethod to be:

function(x,...) UseMethod("myMethod")

But I keep getting:

function(x,...) UseMethod(func)

Here's the function: 

toGeneric<-function(func) {
	env<-environment(get(func))
		
	# default method of new generic = the original function  
	assign(paste(func,".default",sep=""),get(func),pos=env)
	
	assign(func,function(x,...) UseMethod(func),pos=env)
}

toGeneric("myMethod")

I messed around with force, substitute, and deparse, but I can't get any of
those to help.

Thanks.
