R-developers: I'm working on updating my R package "spatial.tools", and one thing I was wondering was the proper way to have hidden functions -- should I simply not export them to the namespace and use the ::: operator to call them (which is what I currently do)? --j -- Jonathan A.

Are you calling them from inside the package? If so, you don't need the :::. If you're not calling them from inside the package, then why not export them? I think you need to explain the context. Duncan Murdoch
