## In order to evade method dispatch ambiguity (with [CTR]sparse* and ddense*),
## but still remain "general"
## we use this hack instead of signature  x = "triangularMatrix" :

trCls <- names(getClass("triangularMatrix")@subclasses)
trCls. <- trCls[grep(".t.Matrix", trCls)]  # not "*Cholesky", "*Kaufman" ..
for(cls in trCls.) {
    setMethod("tril", cls, .tril.tr)
    setMethod("triu", cls, .triu.tr)
}

## ditto here:

for(cls in trCls)
    setMethod("isTriangular", signature(object = cls),
              function(object, ...) TRUE)
## instead of just for ....   signature(object = "triangularMatrix")

rm(trCls)
