explicit name space or @import

[KevCaz]

When calling a function from another package in one of our own function, should we:

1- use explicit spacename, e.g reshape2::acast 2- using @importFrom reshape2 acastwhen documenting the function (using Roxygen) 3- or both?

Whatever our choice, I think it should be consistent throughout the code.

A bit old, but the roxygen2 package developer suggests the first option. Is this still true?

I agree we should use the first one as recommended by Hadley Wickham who also suggests the use of @importFrom (or other kind of import) in particular case such as S3 object / methods / pipes (%>%).

Works for me!
