Hi
section 6.1 of R-exts suggests that a package can take over a
function in the base
package and make it generic.
I want to do this with Re() and have the following lines in my R code:
"Re" <- function(x){UseMethod("Re" )}
"Re.default" <- get("Re" ,pos=NULL,mode="function")
"Re.octonion" <- function(x){give.comp(x,1)}
This, however, generates the following warning from R CMD check:
* checking S3 generic/method consistency ... WARNING
Re:
function(x)
Re.default:
function()
See section 'Generic functions and methods' of the 'Writing R
Extensions'
manual.
I can suppress the warning by commenting out the first line. Is this a
sensible thing to do?
