Hi,recently R CMD check --as-cran has noticed some more issues with package namespace imports with the recommended remedy to use importFrom() and friends. In my case, there was only a conflict restricted to some few imports, while I would prefer to still import all the non-conflicting objects, methods, and classes of the respective package namespace. So would it be possible to have some new directives along the lines import(<pkg>) ## importing the whole namespace of <pkg> in a first step notimportFrom(<pkg>, <obj1>, <obj2>,....) ## exclude <obj1>, <obj2>, ... again from the previous namespace import ## and, similarly, notimportMethodsFrom(<pkg>, <meth1>, <meth2>,....) notimportClassesFrom(<pkg>, <cls1>, <cls2>,....) in the NAMESPACE file? Otherwise the list of object, methods, classes to be explicitely imported (in my case) got very long (and hence hard to maintain) -- much longer than the list of items to be excluded from an import.
This doesn't make sense to me. How could it be easier to maintain a list over which you don't have control instead of one over which you do have control?

Or have I overseen some obvious, easier way to achieve this? Best regards, Peter
