[Bioc-devel] namespace question

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

My usecase is when I import() two packages who has a conflict in a name.
For example, both Biobase and matrixStats has both anyMissing and
rowMedians. I am happy to get all of these two packages, but I need to
resolve the conflict.  Since I want to keep the ones from matrixStats I
know need to figure out how to import Biobase selectively.  Which I can,
using the tools from codetoolsBioC, but I would also be happy with an
importFromExcept(), which would make my life much easier.

Best,
Kasper
