[R-pkg-devel] masked from 'package:utils':,, ?

[Ben Bolker]

    This is harmless and should be accepted by CRAN (if masking existing 
functions were illegal half of the tidyverse would be banned ...).  It's 
there because it needs to be defined in order to enable the ??? alias 
for findFn().  sos:::"?" (and experimentation) show that use of a single 
? is passed through to the original 'utils' version.
