+functions and S3 methods.  Major effort has been made in making definition of
+methods as simple as possible with a minimum of maintenance for package
+developers.  For example, generic functions are created automatically, if
+missing, and naming conflict are automatically solved, if possible.  The
+method @code{setMethodS3()} is a good start for those who in the future may
+want to migrate to S4.")
