Hi,

is there a way to define a method say '$$' that would behave like '$' and allow calls like 'a$$name'?
No, the parser handles a fixed syntax, and that expression is not legal. You could do it with

a %$$% name

using the infix operator syntax. (I think the description in the R Language Definition suggests this is not legal, since $$ is not a valid name, but it does currently work and that's unlikely to change.)
