[Rd] ‘:::’ call

[Gavin Simpson]

Paul, this was discussed at length only a couple of days ago. See this thread:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/34100

If I follow you, I think a change has been made that doesn't NOTE if
the use of `:::` is to packages for which you are also the maintainer.
But read the thread as the change is mentioned in there somewhere.
