In hadley/simpleS4: A simple package to illustrate how to depend on methods.

simpleS4

This package illustrates the correct way to depend on the methods package, in order to use S4. You need to do two things:

• In DESCRIPTION, Depends: methods
• In NAMESPACE, "imports(methods)"

This passes R CMD check, and works when run from Rscript:

Rscript --vanilla -e "library(simpleS4); testS4()"
Rscript --vanilla -e "simpleS4::testS4()"

Rscript --vanilla -e "library(simpleS4); testRC()"

This doesn't (yet):

Rscript --vanilla -e "simpleS4::testRC()"
