On reflection, it seems to me that what we really need here
is Prof. Ripley's mind_read() function that was foreshadowed
some years ago (see fortune("mind_read")) so that R could
determine just *which* lm() (for example) function the user
has in mind when he or she types ``lm(...)'' at the keyboard.
Perhaps Brian could report on what progress has been made
with the mind_read() function.
cheers,
Rolf
identical function names from 2 packages

I imagine mind_read() easy to implement with Robin Hankin's emulator package -- under some weak assumptions about the user; mind_write(), however, seems more involved and might require investing in new hardware. Best, baptiste
