Perfect, thanks!
(Any idea if/where this is documented? I checked through the "Writing
R Extensions" doc and couldn't find any mention of it.)
It is mentioned in ?getPackageName:
" (Currently, the name is stored as the object |.packageName| but don't
trust this for the future.)"
The more trustworthy approach is to use packageName() or getPackageName().
