If you are using a package without a namespace, expect problems. Having

My understanding (which is pretty shaky when it comes to namespaces) is
that if you have things set up correctly then namespaces will make sure
that function calls within functions in the given package will be to be to
functions in that package and not to their doppelgangers in other packages
Hi,
I encounter similar problems as well and posted a while ago about this.
Namespaces are cool, but isn't it very much up to a package's position
in the search path (which is quite arbitrary depending on the packages
loaded) that determines which namespace dominates? That leaves it to

Thanks for the info.
I think I've tried that a while ago, but IIRCC, the problem was always
that R won't let me create on object that would pass as a full grown

Subject: Re: [R] identical function names from 2 packages
On reflection, it seems to me that what we really need here
is Prof. Ripley's mind_read() function that was foreshadowed
some years ago (see fortune(mind_read)) so that R could
determine just *which* lm() (for example) function the user
has in mind when he or she types ``lm(...)'' at the
I imagine mind_read() easy to implement with Robin Hankin's emulator
package -- under some weak assumptions about the user; mind_write(),
however, seems more involved and might require investing in new
hardware.
