I was refering to the recommendations in ?Methods_for_S3 (
https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/methods/html/Methods_for_S3.html).
:

if one needs a method for an S4 class for a function using S3 dispatching.
This is cumbersome, and not very optimal.
I was wondering if there's a better way to do this. Currently I
