[R-pkg-devel] need some help to understand package build workflow

[Kevin Ushey]

I've posted an MRE at https://github.com/klutometis/roxygen/issues/362.

The issue occurs when a function and an S4 generic have the same name;
I imagine this is fairly uncommon? Wouldn't the function be masked by
the S4 generic and effectively be invisible after the package was
loaded?
