Thanks again. I use httr explicitly, I believe hoardr is used by another
package that I use. I don't think the conflict will cause problems given how I
am using them, but your explanation clarifies what is going on for me to check
on.

Thanks. I thought I remembered seeing this discussed. I was looking in the
archives for this list, not r-help.

Not quite. The dispatch may be by type but C++ identifies the arguments by
position, while S4 applies R's dispatch rules
and respect the names, if present.
Regarding your example from a previous email:

Dear Dario,
I think differently, I think my examples show the resemblance between
the way of "dispatching" for S4 generic and that for C++ overloaded
function.
Both are dispatched ONLY through the type of arguments.
Again following your original example:
int larger(int x, int y);
char larger(char
Good day,
Your conclusion seems to be different to the details you discussed. Don't you
intend to conclude that it's not possible with an S4 generic to define methods
with different argument names which is different to a language such as C++?
