Subject: Running examples with R5 constructor from package failing

I am having an issue with reference classes (R5) in a package I am developing. They have both been illustrated in the `roxygentest` package I've got hosted on Github [1].?

When I run `R CMD check .` on the source directory of my package I am told that:
> Error: could not find function "Blob"

However, when I install and load the package, I can successfully run the command in the example.?

Does someone know why this is happening?

The relevant definitions and the example (in Rd format):

R5 definition:
```
draw.Blob <- function (type = 'small')?
{
? 'Something about blobs'
? type <<- 'small'
}

Blob <- setRefClass (
? Class = "Blob",?
? fields = list(type = 'character'),
? methods = list(draw = draw.Blob)
)
```

Example:
```
\examples{
Blob(type = 'small')
}
```

Cheers
