[Roxygen-devel] error exporting "thisName<-" functions

[meik michalke]

hi,

when i define a function/method named like "functionName<-", it causes an 
error at installation time if the NAMESPACE file was created by roxygen2. the 
reason is simply the assignment operator "<-" in the name, which is needed for 
functionality like

 functionName(object) <- "new value"

to fix this, roxygenize() could simply quote the names of things to export in 
the created NAMESPACE file, because manually changing the entry did the trick:

fails:
 exportMethods(methodName<-) 

works:
 exportMethods("methodName<-")


best regards :: m.eik
