I think this is best saved for a follow-up, but when I read this comment from Jon... >I've reviewed _a lot_ of code in other places and have seen a number of styles that include either always using `::`, or using it liberally to avoid confusion/mistakes. It got me thinking: wouldn't it be nice if users could call any registered function by its namespace-qualified name **_or_** by its unqualified name? For example a user could call `paste()` or `base::paste()` and both would work the same. Or they could call `str_c()` or `stringr::str_c()` and both would work the same. To achieve that, maybe `register_binding()` could take the function name and the namespace name in _separate_ arguments, and register each function in both the unqualified and qualified forms? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
