Is it possible in S4 to define "$<-" ? If there is a slot name 'a' in object 'B', I find (in "S4 in 15 pages more or less")
setGeneric("a<-", function(x, value) standardGeneric("a<-")) setReplaceMethod("a", ..... Then we can use obj <- new("B") a(obj)<- 3 But I did not find how to define obj$a <- 3 Is it possible ? Is it the 'usual' way ?
