I think part of this may be my (possibly flawed) understanding of documentation requirements for CRAN -- if a function is exported to the namespace, does CRAN require documentation of that function? The reason I ask is that I have a lot of these little functions that have no need for documentation (since they are only used internally by a larger, documented function -- no end-user would touch them). If this is flawed understanding, do I just export it to the NAMESPACE and I'm good to go?
