Dear all,
I have several pacakges which all use some generic functions stored in
package. Let's call the package with generic functions 'auxiliary', a
package which uses those functions 'main'.
'auxiliary' has a function that needs the name of the package it is called
by. Currently I solve this by passing the name of the package as an
argument.
auxiliary::a <- function(package){
cat("do something with", package)
}
#'@importFrom auxiliary a
main::use_a <- function(){
a(package = "main")
}
I was wondering how I can rewrite this so I don't have to pass the package
name as an argument.
auxiliary::a <- function(){
package <- the_thing_I_am_looking_for()
cat("do something with", package)
}
#'@importFrom auxiliary a
main::use_a <- function(){
a()
}

what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
