Subject: [Rd] require is to suggests as what is to imports?
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=EOFdYKP0JUZLCz8r7KRJ1PaYFGQgresAQJ6r1@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

If a package suggests another package in its description, you can
check it at runtime with requires.  How do you do check if a package
is available without loading it, if you only want to access one
function in the package namespace.

Thanks,

Hadley
