[Bioc-devel] Question about R functions

[Wolfgang Huber]

Thanks Juan; the .point used to be a way to do this, but since the 
introduction of namespaces to R, it is neither necessary nor sufficient 
for private functions. See e.g. .Hub in the AnnotationHub package, or 
the .Call function in base.

See
