verbatim environment in Rd-documents?

Is there a verbatim environment in the Rd-format or is there an easy way to
get the same result? Example what I would like to have:

\verbatim{

str

  function (object, ...)
  UseMethod("str")
}

It would be something similar to \example, but I can not use \example
since it generates a new section and can not be inside other
sections. Also, it might not be R-code in verbatim environment. The
verbatim environment should, as example, respond to newline (or at
least it should be possible to force a newline). I believe \code
should not be used for this purpose and it also does not respond to
newlines or initial spaces (for indentation). It is too akward to have
a \code statement for every line.

I don't think there is ... and even worse, I don't think there will be.

Rd.sty is meant for output from converting .Rd files via Rdconv.  And
the .Rd format does not have the above.  As we are trying to move away
from this format, most likely to something XML-based, it is basically in
feature freeze.

Unless, of course, you figure out how to modify the Perl code to do what
you want and send us the patches :-)
