I see the follow explanation in help(cbind). I don't understand what
the dispatch mechanism is. Could you point me what document or
reference I should read?

     The method dispatching is _not_ done via 'UseMethod()', but by
     C-internal dispatching. Therefore, there is no need for, e.g.,
     'rbind.default'.
