R devel - Feb 2014 - Running examples with R5 constructor from package failing

I am having an issue with reference classes (R5) in a package I am developing.
They have both been illustrated in the `roxygentest` package I've got hosted
on Github [1].?

When I run `R CMD check .` on the source directory of my package I am told
that:
> Error: could not find function "Blob"
However, when I install and load the package, I can successfully run the command
in the example.?

Does someone know why this is happening?

The relevant definitions and the example (in Rd format):

R5 definition:
```
draw.Blob <- function (type = 'small')?
{
? 'Something about blobs'
? type <<- 'small'
}

Blob <- setRefClass (
? Class = "Blob",?
? fields = list(type = 'character'),
? methods = list(draw = draw.Blob)
)
```

Example:
```
\examples{
Blob(type = 'small')
}
```

Cheers

The symptoms make it look as though the *function* Blob is not exported. 
  I see in your source that you do export the *class* Blob, but the docs 
don't make it clear to me that this also implies export of the generator 
function.

So I'd add

export(Blob)

to your NAMESPACE.  I just checked another package that exports a class, 
and it separately exported the generator function, so I guess this is known.
