I don't think you want to separate it from the import. Better to allow
something like
import(foo, exclude=bar)
or
import(foo, exclude=c("bar", "baz"))
This seems reasonably natural and shouldn't be too hard to
implement. (But is has been a while since I've worked on this code).

I think excludeFrom (package, function) seems to be intuitive.

Fair enough. Not really intuitive that excludeImport uses the same
syntax as (but does the opposite of) importFrom though. Maybe having
the name of the directive start with "import" would help e.g.
importExcept(hash, values) # opposite of importFrom(hash, values)
Thanks,

Herve,
That is a very interesting idea and works for me! Thanks!
importPatternFrom(IRanges, "^values$")

That would work, but R is not going to be happy about redundant
imports. Interactively, users would balk at symbol qualification.
There are two classes of conflict:
1) Same semantics, where a common generic would arbitrate, or one
package could depend on the other, and
2) Different semantics, in which case one of the functions should
probably be renamed, although that might not be practical or easy to
agree upon.
When those approaches fail, qualification is the only recourse.
I will think about adding an excludeImport() or importAs().
What about having something like an importPatternFrom() directive
similar to the exportPattern() directive and have these directives
support some of the grep() toggles like 'ignore.case', 'fixed',
'invert' etc... ?
Then Julie could just do:
importPatternFrom(hash, "^values$", invert=TRUE)

In the cases of having conflicting names, is it not appropriate then
to use
the "package::function" form for calling a particular function?

Michael,
I have the same user case as Kasper. Another example is that both
IRanges
and hash packages have hash. I need to use the hash from the hash
package
instead of the one from IRanges.

My usecase is when I import() two packages who has a conflict in a
name.
For example, both Biobase and matrixStats has both anyMissing and
rowMedians. I am happy to get all of these two packages, but I need
to
resolve the conflict. Since I want to keep the ones from
matrixStats I
know
need to figure out how to import Biobase selectively. Which I can,
using
the tools from codetoolsBioC, but I would also be happy with an
importFromExcept(), which would make my life much easier.

Hi,
Is there a function to import all the exported objects from a
package
except a few named ones in NAMESPACE file?
For example, I would like to import all the functions in S4Vectors
except fold. Is there a way to specify this without listing all
other
functions using importFrom?
Many thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Julie
