Why can I forward missing i,j to the built-in `[` method but not
to user-defined methods? How can I fix this? Default i and j to TRUE?
Are there less involved methods of handling my problem of subsetting
attr(x, 'foo') with the dimnames of x? Preferrably without setting
dimnames on attr(x, 'foo') itself.

I think you need a reprex... I don't think your claim is correct as stated.
