I would think it does matter. Methods are found on the search path, but
the environment where the methods are defined is not on the search path.
It's a child environment of the namespace, and hence cannot be reached
from either the global environment or the namespace if I understood it
correctly.
The environment of a function is where it looks for objects, not where
it is stored. That method is stored in the huxtable namespace, and
exported from it. That's why
getFromNamespace("align.huxtable","huxtable") (or even
huxtable::align.huxtable) finds it.
I don't know the source of the original error.
