## Class "environment"

### Description

A formal class for R environments.

### Objects from the Class

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.

### Methods

coerce
  `signature(from = "ANY", to = "environment")`: calls `as.environment`.
initialize
  `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.
