R devel - Sep 2005 - undocumented objects in a package

Dear R-devel,

I recall that there used to be a mechanism to get around the requirement
that all objects in a package have associated documentation; i.e., a way to
specify a list of objects (mostly functions) that are not considered as part
of the package API.  Is this still available?  I cannot find any mention in
R-exts.

I realize that the way to go is to have a name space, and eventually that's
what I will do, but for now I rather spend the time doing other necessary
clean-ups first.  

Any pointer much appreciated!

Best,
Andy

E.g. just make one simple help page with keyword "internal" with
aliases
for all the functions. You do not need to write exact documentation in 
this case.
