Dear R-Developement Team, I want to suggest an additiol check to the R CMD check functionality.
Consider the situation where the objects of more than one package are imported to the NAMESPACE of a third package, e.g. via import(foo, bar) in the NAMESPACE file. There might be situations where exported objects in the packages `foo` and `bar` have the same name, let´s say there is an object `f` exported from both packages. Then a warning created by R CMD check comparable to the same situation when attaching multiple packages to the search path, like > library(foo) > library(bar) The following objects are masked from ‘package:foo’: f would be very helpful. I am aware that it is not best practice to import many packages with many exported objects to the NAMESPACE of another package. Nevertheless it would be nice feature to be warned about the resulting name conflict. Thanks in advance.
