In a conversation with a programmer new to writing R packages, he mentioned 
that he was very confused by phrase "package writer" used in the document, and 
said that he "[was] literally imagining some sort of function that writes 
something related to packages".

I can see his point: not only is it confusing, but I think it's also bad 
English (one wouldn't say "the novel's writer"). Can this be changed to 
"package author"?
