Yeah, this issue has arisen/been discussed (on R-help I think) in the 
past.  The rationale is that you use the library() function to "take a 
package out of a library" (like taking a book out of a library).  In 
retrospect the developers might wish they had used a different name for 
the library() function, but it's really too late to change anything now.

cheers,

Rolf
