good idea. Perhaps we should finally start working on a namespace, indeed. It does look like R will not necessarily support packages without a formal namespace declaration for much longer. Perhaps the following would be a workable plan for a smooth transition: 1) Add '@export' tags to *all* functions (did you already do that?) 2) For all functions starting with a dot, add some marker like '#TODO REVIEW EXPORT' on the '@export'-line to remind us that we will have to check whether it is really necessary to export these. 3) Let roxygen generate a NAMESPACE file from that, second check it for correctness, and activate it. Make sure that everything seems to be working (not sure, whether we may have to define some imports, too). 4) Over time, we will take a look at the functions marked for review, one by one, and check whether / how they can be hidden from the export. (Is there a corresponding tag like '@internal', '@private', '@noexport' or something in roxygen? Otherwise, perhaps we should make up one ourselves, to avoid ambiguities). What do you think?
