R help - Apr 2011 - corSpatial and nlme

I noticed that ?corClasses in package nlme does not list corSpatial among the
standard classes.  This might either be intentional because corSpatial is not
"standard" , or it might be simply an oversight that needs correcting.

  corSpatial is a virtual class: the real classes
derived from it (corGaus, corLin, corSpher, corExp)
are listed.

  I suppose there would be some argument for adding
corSpatial to the "see also" list -- although it is
listed on each of the specific pages for the four
real spatial classes, so you would certainly get there
if you were poking around in the documentation.
