Subject: [Rd] Identical copy of base function
Message-ID: <144b5f48a1aa59e2bbcd8b96a3990edd.squirrel@webmail.plus.net>


Hello,

Regarding this in R-devel/NEWS/New features :

o  ?library(pkg)? no longer warns about a conflict with a function from
?package:base? if the function is an identical copy of the base one but
with a different environment.

Why would one want an identical copy in a different environment? I'm
thinking I may be missing out on a trick here.

Matthew
