pkg::fun() will call function fun from the namespace of package pkg *without loading it onto the search path*
It is important to use conventional terminology here. The package (and its dependencies) gets loaded but not *attached*. The `library` and `require` functions load and attach a package in a single step. You can also manually attach and detach environments to/from the search path using the `attach` and `detach` functions.
