Could well be. I haven't played with Rcpp Modules on Windows -- modules do
need the methods package.  But we don't load the methods package because,
well, littler doesn't, and this code inherited from littler.

We could change that.  [ Goes checking -- we no longer seem to do that. ]

A complete example would help. I could test on Linux and then on Windows.

Based on a quick and casual look, methods is now loaded. I think.

All very odd as you also force loading of Rcpp which would bring it in too:

$ r -e 'library(Rcpp); print(search())'
[1] ".GlobalEnv"      "package:Rcpp"    "package:methods" "Autoloads"      
[5] "package:base"   
$
