    ### Other, virtual classes used in method dispatch
    "OptionalMethods"
    "PossibleMethod"

### Slots

`argument`:
  Object of class `"name"` the argument names being selected on.
`sublist`:
  Object of class `"list"` (unused, and perhaps to be dropped in a later version.)

### Methods

No methods defined with class `"EmptyMethodsList"` in the signature.

### See Also

Function `MethodsListSelect` uses the objects; see `MethodsList-class` for the non-empty methods list objects.
