It's the same as in S-PLUS, what you saw *is* the structure of hist in
R, i.e. it is an S3 generic.
To see the implementation for a particular class, you need to say
which method you want to look at, and then use getS3method to see it.
For example,
getS3method('hist', 'default')
shows the default method.
