This seems to work as expected (returning "hi!") in R-devel, but there
have been so many destabilizing changes to methods that it would be
tough to port this to release. Probably should just wait for 4.0.

Gabe described my main concern. Specifying a coercion function asserts that
the data (1) were what was expected and (2) were converted into what was
expected. Allowing a coercer to delegate to a "next method" is a good idea,
but keep in mind that any function that did that would not confer the

This has some nice properties:
1) It self-documents the input expectations in a similar manner to
colClasses.
2) The implementation could eventually "push down" the coercion, e.g.,
calling it on each chunk of an iterative read operation.
The implementation needs work though, and I'm not convinced

Whenever they are calling a primitive, because primitives match

You could also make an argument from the code clarity perspective, as

A generic function is not simply a way to name two functions (methods)
the same. It has a particular purpose, and the argument names are
aligned with and convey that purpose. The methods only implement
polymorphism; they don't change the purpose. Changing the purpose
would make code unreadable.

I can't speak to the history per se, but I can give an opinion on the

it is not, consider "foo <-

Actually, it's sort of the opposite. Everything becomes a sequence of
integers internally, even when the argument is missing. So the same

You only have to make an S4 method if there is already an S4 generic.
If there is just an S3 generic, then just define S3 methods on it. I
think we should stay away from defining S4 generics when there is no
good reason for them. Good reasons include multiple dispatch, or a

My understanding is that array (or any other structure) does not

Folding is a simple solution, but there are intrinsic problems, like the

The issue should be resolved in R-devel. It was actually deeper and more
important than this obscure insertSource() function. names() was not doing
the right thing on S4 objects derived from "environment".

I pretty much agree. I tried using roxygen when it was first released but
couldn't stand putting documentation in comments, especially for complex,
S4-based software. Rd is easy to read and write and lets me focus on the
task of writing documentation (focus is the hardest part of any task for
me).

To do this in C, it would probably be easier and faster to just do the
string manipulation directly. Luckily, there are already packages that
have done this for you. See an example below using the S4Vectors
package.
foo2 <- function(mymat, colnms, tilde=FALSE) {
chars <- colnms[col(mymat)]
I've fixed this and will commit soon.
Disregard my dim<-() example; that behaves as expected (the class needs a
dim<-() method).

The result of match.call() should be something that would evaluate
correctly in the frame of the fun0() call. While wrapping things in
parentheses is unlikely to cause any problems, arbitrary calls and
symbols would.
Consider the following:

x <- 2L

There is a difference between the symbol and the function (primitive

This:

Evaluates `[` to its value, in this case the primitive object, and the

Interesting idea. Lazy and non-standard evaluation is going to happen; the
language needs a way to contain it.
I'll extend the proposal so that prefixing a formal argument with @ in
function() marks the argument as auto-quoting, so it arrives as a language
object without use of substitute(). Kind
I guess this would establish a separate "namespace" of symbolic prefix
operators, %*% being an example in the infix case. So you could have stuff
like %?%, but for non-symbolic (spelled out stuff like %foo%), it's hard to
see the advantage vs. foo(x).
Those examples you mention should probably be
side effects unless the deferral is complete.

The coercion is probably the most viable workaround for now, as it's
consistent with what happens internally for calls. All pairlists/calls
are converted to list for subassignment, but only calls are converted
back. My guess is that the intent was for users to move from using a
pairlist to the "new

The issue with as.character.factor() was reported and fixed recently.
https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17141
The warning emitted from print.factor() is interesting. I'm not sure
why we are setting the class to NULL there. Could just create a new
character vector instead. Will l

Hi Bill,
Thanks, another good suggestion. strcapture() now returns NAs for
non-matches. It's nice to have someone kicking the tires on that
function.

Thanks for the suggestion. Checked in that change.

One option would be to use the same strategy that we use for cbind()
and rbind(), i.e., if dispatch fails, call a binary generic, c2(),
recursively. Could do the same for pmin() and pmax().

The radix sort should be consistent with the others, i.e., it should
behave like sort.list(), not order(). I will correct this.

I'll add the drop argument but I'm wondering about the order of the
levels. Should we set the levels to unique(names(x)) or sort them,
too?

I agree that the utils package needs some improvements related to
this, and hope to make them eventually. This type of feedback is very
helpful.
Thanks,

I was looking into making sub-assignment into atomic vectors work when the
value is an S4 object. The plan was to simply dispatch to an as.vector
method and proceed as normal.
Currently, if 'x' is a list, then any S4 'value' is first wrapped in a list.
One can rationalize this by thinking of the S
