     This function is generic; method functions can be writ-
     ten to handle specific classes of objects. Classes
     which already have methods for this function include:
     `formula', `modelStruct', `pdBlocked', `pdMat', and
     `reStruct'.

_U_s_a_g_e_:

     Names(object, ...)
     Names(object, ...) <- value

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s_:

  object: any object for which names can be extracted and/or
          assigned.

     ...: some methods for this generic function require
          additional arguments.

_V_a_l_u_e_:

     will depend on the method function used; see the appro-
     priate documentation.

_S_I_D_E _E_F_F_E_C_T_S_:

     On the left side of an assignment, sets the names asso-
     ciated with `object' to `value', which must have an
     appropriate length.

_N_o_t_e_:

     If `names' were generic, there would be no need for
     this generic function.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o_:

     `Names.formula', `Names.pdMat'
