R devel - Sep 2012 - Need to tell R CMD check that a function qr.R is not a method

When creating a package, I would like a way to tell R that
a function with a period in its name is not a method.

I'm writing a package now with a modified version of qr.R.
R CMD check gives warnings:

* checking S3 generic/method consistency ... WARNING
qr:
  function(x, ...)
qr.R:
  function(qr, complete, pivot)

See section ‘Generic functions and methods’ of the ‘Writing R
Extensions’ manual.

* checking Rd \usage sections ... NOTE
S3 methods shown with full name in documentation object
'QR.Auxiliaries':
  ‘qr.R’

The \usage entries for S3 methods should use the \method markup and
not their full name.
See the chapter ‘Writing R documentation files’ in the ‘Writing R
Extensions’ manual.

You can't. There are few exception for historic names (S definitions) 
hardcoded in R.

Best,
Uwe
