\code(\link[stats:varimax]{promax}}
works but will probably break if promax is ever moved to its own Rd
file. (From the discussion there is probably not a better general solution.)
\code(\link{promax}}
works because stats is always installed, but is not a general solution
because I have other cases where the package may not be installed.
\code(\link[stats:promax]{varimax}}
which might be another (but presumably mistaken) interpretation of the
Writing R Extensions documentation

> foo and bar respectively.
does not work and also displays "varimax" in the text (which is not what
I want).
