> It got me thinking: wouldn't it be nice if users could call any registered
function by its namespace-qualified name or by its unqualified name?
There's a JIRA on this one (ARROW-14575)! In the PR for that JIRA we'd add
the package names to all our currently registered functions, implement a
slightly different registry that keeps track of packages instead of discarding
it, and implement a binding for `::` that uses some registry of package
functions (but the unqualified versions would still work).
I chose to keep the namespace with the function in the same string because
that's what `vctrs::s3_register()` does (i.e., you call
`vctrs::s3_regsiter("pkg::fun", ...)`). The namespace could certainly be
separate (`vctrs::s3_register()` used to be implemented this way)...maybe
that's a good implementation detail to hash out in the PR for ARROW-14575? I
didn't add any of the package names to `register_binding()` calls internally
because that seemed easier to review as a separate PR.
