...should be extracted and used: I thought the *actual* arguments to be passed via `...` to subsequent functions/methods could be put into an "arguments container" (as a list so you could easily use them with `do.call(foo)`) that has a class that `foo` expects for its `...` argument (e.g. `ThreedotsForFoo`). What I would like to accomplish is that `foo` auto-detects those parts coming in via `...` that are *relevant* for itself (e.g. instances of the argument container `ThreedotsForFoo`), that it handles them in a proper way (i.e. extracting the *actual* arguments from the container) and that it pas...

Dear List, I'm currently investigating if the argument dispatch mechanism based on `...` could somehow be "generalized" to scenarios that involve `r` recipients located across `c` calling stack layers *and* combined with the S4 method mechanism (for those interested see
