1.6 of Writing R Extensions says
Note that adding a name space to a package changes the search strategy.
The package name space comes first in the search, then the imports, then
the base name space and then the normal search path.
I'm not sure of the details, but I think
parents(getNamespace("devtools"))
will give you what you want, with the gory details in loadNamespace
makeNamespace
