[Rd] class(<matrix>) |--> c("matrix", "arrary") -- and S3 dispatch

[Jan Gorecki]

In case if anyone needs daily R-devel there is my build scheduled on GitLab.
As of now based on Ubuntu 16.04, R built using:
--with-recommended-packages --enable-strict-barrier
--disable-long-double
Predefined Makevars for building pkgs using: -g -O2 -Wall -pedantic
-fstack-protector-strong -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2

$ docker run --rm -ti registry.gitlab.com/jangorecki/dockerfiles/r-devel:latest
