Summary:
Turning existing S3 "old" classes into "true" S4 classes

Detailed description
Classes used in TraMineR (as in many R packages) are old S3 classes. Although they are easy to impletent, they have some disadvantages compared to "new" S4 classes (above all, the absence of any definition of a valid object, see Chambers, Software for Data Analysis, 2008).
