It's an implementation detail of utils::globalVariables(). Normally, R
CMD check wouldn't complain about it, but because of exportPattern(".")
in your NAMESPACE it's exported, and thus considered to be a part of
your package's API, and thus required to be documented.

It may involve more typing, but export()ing individual functions will
prevent your package from exporting some other non-API object by
accident.
