R devel - Mar 2014 - makepredictcall

An issue came up with the rms package today that makepredictcall would solve,
and I was
going to suggest it to the author.  But looking in the help documents I
couldn't find any
reference to it.  There is a manual page, but it does not give much aid in
creating code
for a new transformation function. Did I miss something?

If not, I'd be willing to draft a paragraph about that which could be added
to the
extensions document.  I figured it out, somehow, for the pspline function of the
survival
package.  Submit such draft to ____?  The naresid function would be another
useful addition.

See the developer site, e.g. 
http://developer.r-project.org/model-fitting-functions.txt .

That is where specialized info is (and this is specialized).
