Hello list.
This is from an R session (admittedly, I'm still using R 2.11.1):
print
function (x, ...)
UseMethod("print")
<environment: namespace:base>
showMethods("print")
Function "print":
<not a generic function>
Don't the two results contradict each other? Or do I have a terrible
misunderstanding of what comprises a generic function?
print() is an S3 generic while showMethods() shows S4 generics. To get a
list of possible S3 generics, use methods("print").
The S4 generic corresponding to print() is called show().
