Hi
I would like to use namespaces outside packages, but I could not find
any references on how to do it (only a thread [1] which says "use a
package"). Using a package is not possible in my case, as I am passing
variables from org-mode / emacs to R and would like to avoid name
clashes. This is a dynamic process, and each time the code is evaluated,
the variable can be different.
I am putting them at the moment into an environment which is locked, but
I would like to avoid name clashes, so the idea of using environments.
So: is there a way to create a namespace and populate it as I can do
with an environment?
I don't know what you think is the difference between a namespace and an
environment. I would say a namespace is one of the environments
associated with a package, i.e. it's just an environment in a particular
context.
So depending on what you are trying to accomplish, it may be fine to
just set up an environment. Why do you think that won't work?
