Module s3_class 

S3 class wrapper generator (structure() + generic.Class dispatch). S3-class R wrapper generator.

Generates lightweight, single-dispatch S3 generics with <generic>.<class> methods. Method dispatch is driven by the class() attribute vector — first match wins — so inheritance is “string-prefix” based and cheap. No formal slot validation, no multi-dispatch (vctrs-style double-dispatch is supported via #[miniextendr(generic, class)] for vec_ptype2.a.b patterns). Pick S3 for tidyverse interop and for extending existing base generics (print, format, summary); use S4/S7 when you need validation or formal hierarchies.

Functions
