[R-sig-ME] HPDinterval conflict between lme4 and coda

[Gabor Grothendieck]

HPDinterval has a conflict between lme4 and coda.  I can
work around it by loading lme4 second or using lme4::HPDinterval
but thought I would mention this just in case:

> library(lme4)
Loading required package: Matrix
Loading required package: lattice

Attaching package: 'Matrix'
