[datatable-help] Using := in .onLoad

[Mick Cooney]

Hi Juan,

That isn't really a workaround, it is the way you are supposed to
import things these days. The functionality for NAMESPACE files etc
changed a while ago with one of the version releases of R (I think it
was something like 2.13, but don't quote me). If you import it via a
namespace it should work fine.

BTW, if you are developing a package, I highly recommend using Hadley
Wickham's devtools package. Combine that with roxygen2 for
documentation, and a huge amount of the bookkeeping and maintenance of
packages is taken care of for you.
