Hi List,
I'd imagine this is a question that has been answered before, but I
can't seem to track it down, sorry for the duplication if it has.
I am writing an interface for a C library and want to return an S4
class from the 'constructing' method. One of the slots of the argument

My issue had been resolved by a more careful approach taken by timeSeries.
The other option is wholesale deprecation of S4 ... but I won't start

This is using an undocumented argument, 'nm'. I don't believe anything
