 # fwdControl class {{{
 
+#' A class for the targets and limits of a fishery projection.

+#' specified by creating an object of class \code{fwdControl}.

+#'
+#' @section Accessors:
+#' All slots in the class have accessor and replacement methods defined that
+#' allow retrieving and substituting individual slots.
+#'
+#' The values passed for replacement need to be of the class of that slot.
+#' A numeric vector can also be used when replacing FLQuant slots, and the
+#' vector will be used to substitute the values in the slot, but not its other
+#' attributes.
+#'
+#' @section Constructor:
+#' 
+#' A construction method exists for this class that can take named arguments for
+#' any of its slots. All slots are then created to match the requirements of the
+#' class validity. If an unnamed \code{FLQuant} object is provided, this is used
+#' for sizing but not stored in any slot.
