R devel - Jan 2011 - "Simulate" package namespace at development stage

Dear list,

I was wondering if it is possible to create and use a package namespace at
the development stage of a package. To clarify, I would like to make sure
that my package functions (and not some other functions that happen to have
identical names) are called by prepending function names appropriately (e.g.
my.package::foo()). Is that possible before a package is actually build and
loaded? If so, could you tell me how to do it?

Thanks a lot!

No, unless you work around by assigning the stuff in certain 
environments, which would be less convenient than just 
building/installing/testing the package.
