[ESS] Helper function for assignInNamespace?

[A.J. Rossini]

It would be cool to also modify the prompt, ala Common Lisp/SLIME, to
display the "guess" (it's not a guess in CL, where you'd just
(in-package BLAH) or probe *package* to switch).

But what hints would you use to guess the current package in R? 
Search path, or?
