Thanks for having the time and energy to fix that. If S4 allows one to create a class that inherits directly from "environment", that might be an elegant way to go for a first step. The dimensions can be stored as attributes. (Across R versions, it used to be allowed, not allowed, then allowed again... I do not know the current status).
We are currently in a regime in which it is _not_ possible to extend "environment" using an S4 class. I think the suggestions for an object based setup are good ones, but given time and people resource constraints, I think the easier solution is best for the upcoming release. + seth
