[Rd] PR#9279 is not fulfilled
As of SVN revision 40493, this wish is NOT fulfilled, and should be moved out of the wishlist-fulfilled category again. The note "Use :::" does NOT address this issue, and the triple colon operator will fail to look up the symbols in question just like the double colon operator. In fact this issue has nothing to do with whether the symbol is exported or not, but with whether or not the symbol is placed in the namespace at all. Please run the code example provided in the original report. See also this thread: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-October/043027.html . Regards Thomas Friedrichsmeier
