R help - Apr 2013 - proper way to handle obsolete function names

Dear R community,


what would be the proper R way to handle obsolete function names? I have 
created several packages with functions and sometimes would like to 
change the name of a function but would like to create a mechanism that 
other scripts of functions using the old name still work.


Cheers
Jannis
