[R] Documentation for namespaces

2007-04-23 Thread Terry Therneau
  Brian Ripley recently replied to a comment of mine by referring to
a function 'assignInNamespace', which I had not heard of.

  Is there a good write up on name spaces in R?  There are little tidbits
in the manuals on the R site, but I found nothing substative.  I'd like
to understand these better.

may all help, but there is as yet nothing (AFAIK) like a comprehensive 
user-level manual.
