I tried to write the dim method for the list class, but R doesn't seem to dispatch to it:NULLdim.list = function(x) c(length(x[[1]]), length(x)) dim(list(1))dim.list(list(1))[1] 1 1
What is the correct way of registering dim.list with .Primitive("dim")?
You really don't want to be doing this: the standard dim() function is intended to work with lists and is used e.g. for matrix lists.
So you are in danger of breaking things.
For that reason and for performance reasons, the internal dispatch only works on explicit class attributes as given by oldClass(), not the implicit ones given by class().
