[R] missing documentation entries

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is discussed in `Writing R Extensions', which both points you to the 
'internal' keyword, and (in the current version) mentions using name 
spaces to hide such functions.

This really was a question for R-devel: please do study the posting guide. 

  `R-devel is intended for questions and discussion about code development 
  in R.'
