S3 method dispatch on other arguments

Read Original

This technical article details the lesser-known capability of R's S3 object system to dispatch methods based on arguments other than the first. It uses the `svytotal` function from the survey package as a primary example, showing how it dispatches on its second `design` argument. The post explores various method implementations for different design classes and cites authoritative sources on the topic.
