Hi list,

Developping a plot method for a S4 class 'foo' (signature being x="foo", 
y="missing"), I would like to access the example contained inside the 
\examples{} section of the corresponding Rd file. This file contains the 
aliases: \alias{plot-methods} and \alias{plot,foo,missing}. There is no 
trouble to access the documentation using:
method ? plot("foo")
or
?plot(new("foo"))

Now, is it possible to have example() work as well ? I tried using the 
"package" argument of "example" without success...

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Thibaut.
