[R-pkg-devel] [External] Removing import(methods) stops exporting S4 "meta name"

[Richard M. Heiberger]

this looks like a relative of the issue I tripped on that is discussed in the email threads

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2024q1/010531.html

At issue is the default export of
exportPattern(".") 

System generated names, which is what ".__xxx__" looks like, seem to be the issue.
I can't make any specific recommendations behind connecting this current issue to my recent experience.
