This is an alternative mechanism for importing objects from packages. The
syntax allows for importing multiple objects from a package with a single
command in an expressive way. The import package bridges some of the gap
between using library (or require) and direct (single-object) imports.
Furthermore the imported objects are not placed in the current
environment. It is also possible to import objects from stand-alone .R
files. For more information, refer to the package vignette.
