Trace adds something to the body of the function, so it does make sense
that it doesn't. Whether traced functions still technically meet the
definition of standard s3 generic or not is, I suppose, up for debate, but
I would say that they should, I think.

As before, if desired I can work on a patch for this if desired, or someone
on R-core can just take care of it if that is easier.

Best,
~G
