It becomes a (S4) generic automagically when you define an S4 method
for it. ;-)
{yes, I know this isn't the answer you wanted to hear;
but really, maybe it's worth considering to use S4 classes and
methods ?}
For S3, it's a bit uglier, but I think you could still do -- in your
package --
if(!exists("loadings.default", mode="function")) {
loadings.default <- loadings
loadings <- function(x, ...) UseMethod("loadings")
}
loadings.<myclass> <- function(x, ...) {
.........
}
and S3-export these.
