'methods' continues to have seemingly different treatment.

If you try to use importFrom to import a single function (in this case
'hasArg') from methods, you receive an ERROR from R CMD check

     Namespace dependency not required : 'methods'

That message usually means that you didn't list 'methods' in the Imports clause in DESCRIPTION.

but without the importFrom, you see a number of NOTE's

     no visible global function definition for 'hasArg'

I don't want to import all of 'methods', as I only need one function.

What am I doing wrong?

Brian
