'zoo' is I guess intended as an S3 class (from library zoo), so
setOldClass('zoo') is appropriate. Otherwise, setClass("zoo") creates a
new virtual class.

This syntax representation=(x="zoo") is doing something quite strange;
the correct syntax to create a class with a slot 'x' of type 'zoo' is
setClass("Work", representation=c(x="zoo"))
or better
setClass("Work", representation=representation(x="zoo"))
On the other hand to extend the 'zoo' class
setClass("Work", representation=representation("zoo"))
or
setClass("Work", contains="zoo")
getClass("Work") after each of the above shows the consequences.
