Don't embed external generics #389

Closed hadley closed 8 months ago

Fixes #364

To review this, I think you'll need to read register_method() and convince yourself that when generic isn't a local generic (i.e. from the current package), we'll always return an external generic, which is basically a lazy pointer to the generic.

This approach doesn't work because of the way that S3method() works as detailed in #390.
