[Rd] Inherited S4 methods

Dear all,

Recently, there was a question to use the same method for more than one
class:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-March/044809.html

I have a variation of this question:
Is it possible to use the same function name, e.g. "myfunction" in
both,
an S4
baseClass and derivedClass. The method "myfunction" in derivedCalss
should
extend the functionality defined in baseClass, analogously to C++ methods.
If this is possible, does there exist an example?

Best regards
Christian
