I sometimes find that a function I have defined has the same name as an R core function. In most cases I have no desire to redefine the core R function and would prefer to give my function a different name.
The problem is that R lets users redefine its core functions without any warning. Is there a way to cause R to generate a warning if a core function is being redefined? To give an actual example, in my personal library of functions I have a 'seek' function. I recently noticed that seek(con, ...) is part of base R. Now I plan to rename my personal 'seek' function but would have benefited from a warning when I first created this function.
