He wants to specify arguments to AIC that act like the "k" argument

argument matching on ...
I think that if you define an S4 generic that only dispatches on the
first argument you may be able to do it for a specific method. On t

I don't see how this can work, in S3 or S4. Callers of AIC are entitied
to expect it to behave as described on the help page, and so to be able to
pass objects called (e.g.) 'delta' and get back exactly the value
mentioned.
For what you seem to want to do, I think you need your own generic.
