Forwarding this to the list, too, if you don't mind; what's the
warning from R CMD check?

I think to enter completely verbose code two things would be great:

1) a tag like @Rd to enter verbose code should suffice in most cases.
2) sometimes though it would be helpful if a default output from roxygen could be suppressed.

e.g.: I have the problem defining proper roxygen code for a extraction function "[“ for S4 classes. What I do is: 

#' extract parts of the repgrid object
#'
#' Methods for \code{"["}, i.e., subsetting of repgrid objects
#'
#' @aliases [,repgrid-method
#' @docType methods
#' @rdname extract-methods

This always results in a warning in R CMD check.
Here I would have liked to suppress some default output and be completely verbose.
Another solution would be to define it correctly in roxygen, but I was not able though.

All in all, I think being able to define what can be suppressed and add it in verbose code would just be great!!
