library and require have new args in 3.6 giving additional control
over conflicts. This seems very useful but I was wondering if there
were some, preferabley simple, way to give existing loaded packages
priority without knowing the actual conflicts in advance. For example
library(dplyr, exclude = c("filter", "lag"))
works to avoid masking those names in stats that would otherwise be
masked by that package but I had to know in advance that filter and
lag were the conflicting names.

You could use the `pos` arg to place the newly loaded package(s) on the search path after the stats package. That would give priority for any functions in the stats package over the newly loaded package (but also give priority for any other packages earlier on the search path).

Goold idea. This seems to work.
library(dplyr, pos = grep("package:stats", search()) + 1)
