I'm in the process of a fairly large overhaul of the exports from the rgl package, with an aim of simplifying maintenance of the package. During this work, I came across the reverse dependency geomorph that calls the rgl.primitive function.

I had forgotten that rgl.primitive was still exported: I've been thinking of it as an internal function for a few years now. I was surprised geomorph was able to call it.

Particularly surprising to me was the fact that it is not properly documented. One of the help topics lists it as an alias, but it contains no usage info, and is not mentioned in the .Rd file other than the alias. And yet "R CMD check rgl" has never complained about it.

Is this intentional?
