In certain cases, a rough estimate of the probability of a collision would be handy.
E.g. here we want to name a function mm, but it isn't clear whether these potential collisions are likely or unlikely

An estimate could be based on how often each library is used with each other library, based on bigquery dataset of R github repos, or, perhaps more easily, see CRAN packages' reverse depends/imports as a proxy for actual use of each package with each other package.
