Is this a bug? We define the [ operator for class test.
All it does is force drop to be FALSE and then calls
the NextMethod. If we specify drop= in the call then
it works as expected (### 2 and ### 3) but if we do not
specify drop (### 1) then it acts as if drop=TRUE
even though we have set it to FALSE within [.test .
> "[.test" <- function(x, i, j, drop = TRUE) {
+ drop <- FALSE
+ NextMethod("[")
+ }
> x <- structure(matrix(1:12, 4, 3), class = "test")
> x[1,] ### 1 - why does it ignore drop=FALSE in [.test ????
[1] 1 5 9
> x[1,,drop = TRUE] ### 2 - ok
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 5 9
> x[1,,drop = FALSE] ### 3 - ok
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 5 9
