Hmmm... 'assign.to.base( "+.POSIXt", myfun)' works on my system (2.9.1 patched
on Windows, at time of writing). Could be the 'mvbutils' version, I guess. What
happened when you tried it? And what if you did 'getAnywhere( "+.POSIXt")'
afterwards?
I was wrong about where '+.POSIXt' lives, though-- sorry. It is directly in
'baseenv()', not in 'baseenv().__S3MethodsTable__.'. 'assign.to.base' looks in
both, and in other packages as well as 'baseenv()'.
