We do encourage not using "." for new function names because of
the reason above, but it's definitely not a requirement.
In the case where  'foo'  is an S3 generic function name,
we however recommend quite strongly not to use 
   'foo.bar'
as function name since it looks "too much" like an S3 method.
Is this the case for you?

No.

only via "namespace magic".

Yes, magic is the word: I got 'R CMD check' and NAMESPACE working by
cleaning 'R' from '*.R~' files and 'src' from old '.o' files and an old
'eha.so' (from 1.x.x something)!  

Another thought: Since I really haven't used S3 methods so far, should I go
for S4 methods directly?
