This is about the new note
Depends: includes the non-default packages:
BiocGenerics Biobase lattice reshape GenomicRanges
Biostrings bumphunter
Adding so many packages to the search path is excessive and importing
selectively is preferable.
Let us say my package A either uses a class B (by producing an object that
has B embedded as a slot) from another package or provides a specific
method for a generic defined in another package (both examples using S4).
In both case my impression is that best practices is I ought to Depend on
such a package, so it is a available at run time to the user.
Comments?
Best,
Kasper
