I'm definitely the wrong one to tackle any S4 or ReferenceClasses
questions. There have been some discussion on r-devel about how to
pick up the ReferenceClasses methods but they flew right over my
greying head. The latest incarnation of Baron's RSiteSearch allows
searching the r-devel archives:
http://search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=ReferenceClasses&max=100&result=normal&sort=score&idxname=functions&idxname=Rhelp10&idxname=R-devel
And maybe other search strings could be even more productive, since I
only tried one. I would have thought the ReferenceC;asses part of your
question to be more appropriate for r-devel anyway.
