Hi, I've seen that some packages use .packageName internally to infer their own name. Is that officially supported? I could not find it documented anywhere.
There's utils::packageName(), which internally looks for .packageName. However, if the latter is not found, it may return NULL whereas an error would be more appropriate if a package name is expected. Using .packageName would give an error if it does not exist. Also, which is minor, using packageName() would add explicit dependency on the utils package whereas .packageName doesn't. So, should I use .packageName or utils::packageName() for this?
