Folks: Feel free to provide me a link or reference instead of an answer.
Preamble: f <- function() function(x)rnorm(x) g <- f() g(3) ## [1] -0.4448492 -0.2379978 -0.4537394 ## But rnorm <- function()1 ## nasty nasty g(3) ## Error in rnorm(x) : unused argument(s) (x) ## of course f <- function()function(x)stats:::rnorm(x) ## would fix this. Question 1: Suppose I defined f() as at top in a package namespace and exported it. Would a user see this same error defining g() and with rnorm redefined as above? (Assume stats is attached as usual). I presume so, but ... Question 2: If the answer to Q1 is yes, (how) can this be avoided without using fully qualified function names? Again, a quick reference to relevant docs would suffice.
