[Rd] List S3 methods and defining packages

[Renaud Gaujoux]

Hi,

from the man page ?methods, I expected to be able to build pairs
(class,package) for a given S3 method, e.g., print, using

attr(methods(print), 'info').

However all the methods, except the ones defined in base or S4
methods, get the 'from' value "registered S3method for print", instead
of the actual package name (see below for the first rows).

Is this normal behaviour? If so, is there a way to get what I want: a
character vector mapping class to package (ideally in loading order,
but this I can re-order from search()).
Thank you.

Bests,
Renaud
