_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This is a generic function.  Methods for this function coerce
     objects of given classes to vectors.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     asVector(object)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: An object.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Methods for vector coercion in new classes must be created for the
     'asVector' generic instead of 'as.vector'.  The 'as.vector'
     function is internal and not easily extended. Currently the only
     class with an 'asVector' method is the 'xyVector' class.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     a vector

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     Douglas Bates and Bill Venables

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'xyVector'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     ispl <- interpSpline( weight ~ height,  women )
     pred <- predict(ispl)
     class(pred)
     utils::str(pred)
     asVector(pred)
