Dear All,
A small inconsistency (it's probably not even a buglet):
setClass("A", contains="numeric")
[1] "A"
names(new("A", c(a=23)))
[1] "a"
setClass("B", contains="A")
[1] "B"
names(new("B", c(a=23)))
NULL
This is exactly that kind of behavior S4 was invented for, you expect
names to be there, but they are not :(.
If that behavior is left to be, one would have to implement @names
manually for children of basic pseudo-classes, which is quite an overhead
given the functionality is already in base R.
Thanks,
Vitalie.
