Hello,
Currently `use` fails silently if you try to attach functions from the
same namespace. It would be nice and more similiar to the use of
roxygen2 if it could add (and maybe even remove?) functions. Here is a
simple proof of concept I have posted on Stack Overflow [1]. Something
similar could be done within `use`. Of course, it would be preferable if
it didn't need to detach the namespace.
|use("data.table", "fread") ls("package:data.table") #[1] "fread"
use("data.table", "nafill") ls("package:data.table") #[1] "fread"
useplus <- function(package, include.only) { loaded <-
ls(sprintf("package:%s", package), all.names = TRUE)
unloadNamespace(package) if (missing(include.only)) { use(package) }
else { use(package, union(loaded, include.only)) } }
useplus("data.table", "nafill") ls("package:data.table") #[1] "fread"
"nafill"|
