Probably not.  I started with emacs --no-site and removed the line from my
personal .emacs file that executes the standard system startup.

I also tried enabling the developer mode (C-c C-t C-t) before loading the
library.

In neither case did C-c C-t C-a recognize that silly was an available
name.  Nonethless, search() showed it on the path, and I was able to
execute functions from the package in the workspace after loading the
library.

Very weird.

P.S. My .emacs file includes
(setq ess-use-tracebug t)
after loading ess.
