That is unfortunate. So such a mechanism would need to use a different
argument name.
For completeness in this thread, I dug up the fact that it seems to have been
removed in the 2.9.0 release:
o Support for versioned installs (R CMD INSTALL --with-package-versions
and install.packages(installWithVers = TRUE)) has been removed.
Packages installed with versioned names will be ignored.
I'll address Duncan's concerns in a separate message.
