[R] Make functions aware of theyr own slots.

[Vitalie S.]

Hello,

  Is there a way to access function's slots from inside the function? I  
want to make functions slot dependent without recurring to generic  
function mechanism.
   Probably this goes a bit against R philosophy, but otherwise I don't  
really see the use of extending functions in R.

Would be nice to have something like:

setClass("myFunc",list(type="numeric"),contains="function")
foo<-new("myFunc",
             function(x) me at type^x,type=0)


Many thanks,
Vitalie.
