Hi,
recently R CMD check --as-cran has noticed some more issues with
package namespace imports with the recommended remedy to
use importFrom() and friends.
In my case, there was only a conflict restricted to some few imports,
while I would prefer to still import all the non-conflicting objects,
methods, and classes of the respective package namespace.
So would it be possible to have some new directives along the lines
import(<pkg>) ## importing the whole namespace of <pkg> in a first step
notimportFrom(<pkg>, <obj1>, <obj2>,....)
## exclude <obj1>, <obj2>, ... again from the previous namespace
import
## and, similarly,
notimportMethodsFrom(<pkg>, <meth1>, <meth2>,....)
notimportClassesFrom(<pkg>, <cls1>, <cls2>,....)
in the NAMESPACE file?
Otherwise the list of object, methods, classes to be explicitely imported
(in my case) got very long (and hence hard to maintain) -- much longer
than the list of items to be excluded from an import.
Or have I overseen some obvious, easier way to achieve this?
Best regards, Peter
