[Rd] How to redefine `require' to generate a warning and delegate work to the original require?

[Grant Rettke]

Jeroen, my sincere apologies.

Having read http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html I had
determined that my question was specifically "discussion about code
development in R" and was not in the realm of those who "want to use R
to solve problems but who are not necessarily interested in or
knowledgeable about programming".

As such, I posted it here.

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks for letting me know on both parts and have a great day.
