Dear R-devel,
Recent versions of R CMD check have been flagging apparent S3 methods
that are not registered in the NAMESPACE as such. In most situations
this is very helpful. However, I have few cases in existing packages
where we have unfortunately named functions using a "." in them that
makes them appear as S3 methods when they are not.
As there is no existing class corresponding to the last suffix of the
function, I could quiet the warning by registering the "fake" S3
function, but this seems contrary to the intent and not very future-proof.
Is there a way to register methods as "non-S3 methods" so as to block
any potential S3 dispatch? Or is there any other way to quiet the
warning? In the long term, I imagine we can deprecate the function and
replace it with a better name?
best,
-skye
