The reason I'd like to do that is to avoid a S4 constructor specification being limited to one line and running off the side of the PDF page of the PDF manual, as happens by default. The style of the documentation which I wrote is:

See WRE.  First, get of \cr.  Second, replacing \code{} with 
\preformatted{} and your manual formatting will be preserved.

See WRE.  Get rid of \cr and use \preformatted instead of \code.  But 
note that it often requires padding with spaces to get exactly the 
result you want.
