My usecase is when I import() two packages who has a conflict in a name. For example, both Biobase and matrixStats has both anyMissing and rowMedians. I am happy to get all of these two packages, but I need to resolve the conflict. Since I want to keep the ones from matrixStats I know need to figure out how to import Biobase selectively. Which I can, using the tools from codetoolsBioC, but I would also be happy with an importFromExcept(), which would make my life much easier.
