'getAnywhere' is not reporting methods when there are periods in the class name or the generic name (in R-devel).
> getAnywhere( 'predict.loess') A single object matching 'predict.loess' was found It was found in the following places registered S3 method for predict from namespace modreg namespace:modreg with value <<...>> > getAnywhere( 'predict.smooth.spline.fit') A single object matching 'predict.smooth.spline.fit' was found It was found in the following places namespace:modreg with value <<...>> In the second case, the report doesn't state that 'predict.smooth.spline.fit' is a registered method. Also e.g. > getAnywhere( 'as.dendrogram.hclust') doesn't report that this is a registered method. It looks like the two lines in 'getAnywhere' starting "gen <-" & "cl <- " might want to become: gen <- paste(parts[1:(i - 1)], collapse = ".") cl <- paste(parts[ i:length(parts)], collapse = ".")
