S3 methods may be hidden in namespaces, and will not
then be found by get
: this function can retrieve
such functions, primarily for debugging purposes.
Further, S3 methods can be registered on the generic when a namespace is loaded, and the registered method will be used if none is visible (using namespace scoping rules).
It is possible that which S3 method will be used may depend on where
the generic f
is called from: getS3method
returns the
method found if f
were called from the same environment.
The function found, or NULL
if no function is found and
optional = TRUE
.
