This might be just beyond of my understanding of how assignment
works in R, but
the documentation does not say anything about:

tl <- list(232)
`$<-`(tl, tv[[1]], "sdfdsfdsfsd")
Error: invalid subscript type 'language'
Are either of these what you should have done to get what it appears
you were aiming for but didn't specify?
`$<-`(tl, "sdfdsfdsfsd", tv[[1]])
# yields
[[1]]
[1] 232
$sdfdsfdsfsd
[1] "dsf"
> `[<-`(tl, tv[[1]], "sdfdsfdsfsd")
[[1]]
[1] 232
$dsf
[1] "sdfdsfdsfsd"
The "$" operator does not evaluate the index whereas the "[" function
does. And the documentation is quite clear about that distinction.

This happens even before the method is dispatched. I can not handle
the
"name" argument in my S4 method, because it's not even entered.
Thanks,
Vitalie.
