I've been trying to use methods for reference classes via the notation 
"[[...]]" (X[["doSomething"]] rather than X$doSomething), but it failed to 
work. However, I did find that if you use the usual "$" notation first, 
"[[...]]" can be used afterwards. The following simple example illustrates the 
point:
> setRefClass("Number", +   fields = list(+     value = "numeric"+   ),+   
> methods = list(+     addOne = function() {+       value <<- value + 1+     }+ 
>   )+ )> X <- new("Number", value = 1)> X[["value"]][1] 1
> X[["addOne"]]()Error: attempt to apply non-function> class(X[["addOne"]]) # 
> NULL[1] "NULL"
> class(X$addOne)[1] "refMethodDef"attr(,"package")[1] "methods"
> X[["addOne"]]()> X[["value"]][1] 2> class(X[["addOne"]])[1] 
> "refMethodDef"attr(,"package")[1] "methods"
Is this a bug?
