Dear R-developers community, I have the following generic:

setGeneric(
                   name="newsample",
                   def=function(x,y,z,a,b,c,...){standardGeneric("newsample")}

And I can build several methods for this generic. One useful thing is to use 
"newsample"
with only one of the 6 arguments listed. At the moment this is what I do:

setMethod(
                   f="newsample",
                   
signature=c("missing","missing","numeric","missing","missing","missing"),
                   function(x,y,z,a,b,c,...)
                   {
                       ..............................
                       ..............................

                    }
                    )

This would be used when the single argument is z:

newsample(z=12.5)

To use newsample with another argument (say x) I should implement the same as 
before,
but with signature 
c("numeric","missing","missing","missing","missing","missing").
Is there another shorter and easier way to do this?
