[ESS] r-related question: editing NAMESPACEd functions in packages

Thanks for adding this Vitalie.

I would prefer telling .emacs which packages I am a developer of -- is
that possible?  Can I just ess-developer-packages myself?

It may also be a wording issue, but you say

> if the function name could be found in the `ess-developer-packages'

since that variable contains package names, rather than function names,
I'm confused as to how this is working.

thanks, Stephen
