_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     A formal class for R environments.

_O_b_j_e_c_t_s _f_r_o_m _t_h_e _C_l_a_s_s:

     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.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:

     _c_o_e_r_c_e 'signature(from = "ANY", to = "environment")': calls
          'as.environment'. 

     _i_n_i_t_i_a_l_i_z_e '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. 

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'new.env'
