Hi,

Is anyone aware of tools permitting the listing of functions in the 
namespace of package A used by package B when package B declares that it 
depends on A, suggests A, or imports(A) without specifying the functions 
from A that B is using? If B imports functions from A, and uses 
importsFrom() in its NAMESPACE, the information can be recovered by 
inspecting its NAMESPACE file (assuming that the entries are correct), but 
not otherwise.

Grateful for any pointers,

Roger
