attachLocally.Object: Attaches an Object locally to an environment

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Object}(this, private=FALSE, fields=NULL, excludeFields=NULL, overwrite=TRUE, envir=parent.frame(), ...)':
attachLocallyundefined

 Attaches an Object locally to an environment.  By default, the fields of the Object are attached to
  the parent frame, that is, the calling environment.

 private{If TRUE, private fields are included, otherwise not.
      This is only effective if fields==NULL.}
   fields{A character vector specifying elements to be copied.
      If NULL, all elements are considered.}
   excludeFields{A character vector specifying elements not to
      be copied.  This has higher priority than fields.}
   overwrite{If FALSE, fields that already exists will not be
      copied.}
   envir{The environment where fields are copied to.}
   ...{Not used.}

 Returns (invisibly) a character vector of the fields copied.

 foo <- function(object, arg1="some value", ...) {
  cat("Local objects in foo():
")
  print(ls())

  attachLocally(object)

  cat("\nLocalobjects in foo():
")
  print(ls())

  for (name in ls()) {
    cat("\nObject'", name, "':
", sep="")
    print(get(name, inherits=FALSE))
  }
}

a <- "A string"
obj <- Object()
obj$a <- "Another string"
obj$b <- NA
foo(obj)
print(a)
