And this is where I start to get bent out of shape with what "initialize" wants to assume about how _my_ objects should get created... > In such cases one has to add the arguments to callNextMethod(y=1) > explicitly. Yes. There are other cases where you will only get the correct behavior if you explicitly list args to callNextMethod (I believe that one case is where your generic has default args). I guess in my view, constructors are just another method and so one shouldn't expect them to align so tightly for related classes. + seth ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
