In rappster/classr: Class instances for rapid prototyping

Description Details Author(s) References

The main intention this package is to facilitate rapid prototyping by providing central interfacees for the creation of S3 classes that provide some degree of structure while also being flexible enough to fit the needs of rapid prototyping.

The core functions/methods of this package:

createInstance:

Simple way of creating arbitrary S3 class instances on the fly.
createR6Instance:

Simple way of creating R6 class instances on the fly.
ensureClassRegistration:

Takes care of registering classes via setOldClass. It is mainly designed for the use of "on the fly" S3 classes rather than formal S4 or S4 Reference Classes. A call to this function inside your package's .onLoad or .onAttach functions would make sure that all the S3 classes that you are using are registered properly. This in turn allows using them in combination with S4 methods.
