(I had sent this to r-help and got no responses -- perhaps r-devel is
a better list for this question?)
How can I determine what S3 method will be called for a particular
first-argument class?
I was imagining something like functionDispatch('str','numeric') =>
utils:::str.default , but I can't find anything like this.
For that matter, I was wondering if anyone had written a version of
`methods` which gave their fully qualified names if they were not
visible, e.g.
methods('str') =>
utils:::str.data.frame utils:::str.default
stats:::str.dendrogram stats:::str.logLik utils:::str.POSIXt
or
methods('str') =>
$utils
"str.data.frame" "str.default" "str.POSIXt"
$stats
"str.dendrogram" "str.logLik"
Thank you,
