I'm trying to understand the R internals a bit better and reading over the documentation.
I see that there is a bit related to whether an object is S4 (S4_OBJECT_MASK), and also the object type S4SXP (25). The documentation makes clear that these two things aren't the same. But in practice, will the S4-bit and object type ever disagree for S4 objects? I know that one can set the bit manually in C; are there any practical applications for doing so?
