You should detach your package, and if it has a namespace unload it,
before attempting to reload it. Something like
detach("package:foo")
library(foo)
or
unloadNamespace("foo") # this also detaches the package
library(foo)
If the package has a DLL, this will in general not reload that. Now in
quite a few cases you cannot successfully unload a DLL, but
library.dynam.unload is provided if you want to do this (including in your
package's .Last.lib or .onUnload hooks).
