How can I create an improved version of a method in R, and have it be used?
Short version: I think plot.histogram has a bug, and I'd like to try a version with a fix. But when I call hist(), my fixed version doesn't get used. Long version: hist() calls plot() which calls plot.histogram() which fails to pass ... when it calls plot.window(). As a result hist() ignores xaxs and yaxs arguments. I'd like to make my own copy of plot.histogram that passes ... to plot.window(). If I just make my own copy of plot.histogram, plot() ignores it, because my version is not part of the same graphics package that plot belongs to. If I copy hist, hist.default and plot, the copies inherit the same environments as the originals, and behave the same. If I also change the environment of each to .GlobalEnv, hist.default fails in a .Call because it cannot find C_BinCount.
