So overall isn't this truncation more trouble than it's worth?

selectMethod() can fail to find methods in situations of multiple dispatch
Hi Michael,
Thanks for looking into this. I suspect that truncation of ANY suffixes from method signatures is also the culprit behind the sudden breakage of aliases of the form \alias{foo,numeric-method} when a method without the ANY suffix in its signature gets added to the ecosystem. See my post about this to the Bioc-devel mailing list a couple of months ago:
