.DN
This function is generic; method functions can be written to handle
specific classes of objects. Classes which already have methods for
this function include: `formula', `modelStruct',
`pdBlocked', `pdMat', and `reStruct'.
.CS
Names(object, ...)
Names(object, ...) <- value
.RA
.AG object
any object for which names can be extracted and/or assigned.
.OA
.AG ...
some methods for this generic function require additional
arguments.
.RT
will depend on the method function used; see the appropriate documentation.

.SH SIDE EFFECTS:
On the left side of an assignment, sets the names associated with
`object' to `value', which must have an appropriate length.

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