?grid::grid-package doesn't find the grid-package help page
Wow! I've never come across this approach before. This will keep me reading for a good few days.

Try ?grid::`grid-package` The "-" is not a legal character in a bare symbol.
Or package?grid::grid which makes use of the rarely used "type" argument to "?". Duncan Murdoch

Hi
I've entered the command "?grid::grid-package" on two computers over
here and they both direct me to the Arithmetic {base} site
(http://127.0.0.1:30753/library/base/html/Arithmetic.html).
Shouldn't this command direct me to the grid-package {grid} site
(something like
https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/grid/html/grid-package.html)?
This has been performed on R versions 3.5.2 and 3.5.3 (Windows).
I couldn't find mention of this in Bugzilla, so thought it best to
confirm whether this warrants documentation as a bug, or whether
alternative methods are preferred for addressing similar (minor)
issues.
Thanks
