Objects can be created by calls of the form new("environment", ...).
The arguments in …, if any, should be named and will be assigned to
the newly created environment.
Methods
coerce
signature(from = "ANY", to = "environment"):
calls as.environment.
initialize
signature(object = "environment"):
Implements the assignments in the new environment. Note that the
object argument is ignored; a new environment is
always created, since environments are not protected by copying.
