@inheritDotDotDot

Generate documentation for the ... parameter by including (selected?) parameters from another function. See ?plot for an example of how this should render.

Not sure how you should specify which arguments to include in the list, since in many cases you won't want to include them all.

Sorry if it's a stupid remark. From what I understood from NEWS.md, I tried to use

#' @inheritDotParams bigmemory::big.matrix
#' @inheritDocParams -nrow -ncol -type -init

and my first question was "why a Dot and a Doc?".
After some quick trial and error, I used

#' @inheritDotParams bigmemory::big.matrix -nrow -ncol -type -init

and it worked.
Am I missing some documentation?
