Okay, that's a good reason why it shouldn't.
Why it should is that I want to substitute
the first element of a call to be a function
including the namespace.

'as.name' doesn't recognize a name with

Is there a reason why it shouldn't?
Any reason why it should? :: and ::: are operators. foo$bar is not the same as
`foo$bar` either.
