Michael,

I have the same user case as Kasper. Another example is that both IRanges and 
hash packages have hash. I need to use the hash from the hash package instead 
of the one from IRanges.

Best,

Julie

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.

Best,
Kasper

I'm curious about which symbols you wouldn't want to import, and why.
