[Rd] S3 generics in packages: default method

2013-02-28 Thread Thomas Lumley
For a package providing 'virtual' data.frames backed by MonetDB database tables, we want to make some functions generic, to implement versions that work on single or multiple database columns. My approach was sd <- function(x, na.rm=TRUE,...) UseMethod("sd") sd.default<- base::sd I've done that
