Hi Duncan, Again, thanks a lot for making this change (help requests are tried over all loaded instead of attached packages): https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/21d2f7430b4 This makes what I proposed last time possible now: if pkg B imports FUN from A and re-exports it, ?FUN will work after B is attached because A will also be at least attached.
Then it will be perfect if `R CMD check` can stop warning against the missing documentation, which is not really missing.
