Subject: [Rd] getAnywhere (PR#4275)
Message-ID: <200309240806.h8O86n0P005770@pubhealth.ku.dk>

'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 = ".")
