[Roxygen-devel] Usage for S4 classes

[Michael Lawrence]

I'd personally prefer that if there is such functionality, it is disabled
by default, since we tend to like to hide new(). Since overriding
initialize is problematic, using new() would expose the slots, which are
normally considered implementation details. Others may differ.
