base objects ?

[moodymudskipper]

Should we consider constructing base objects by only using their names ?

This would be optional, and there are 2 levels to this, only base or all base packages.

maybe base_objects = c("base_R", "base_package", "none") ?

Implementation wise, it just means prefeeding the data arg.

This requires tweaking.
We don't want to map identity to force, or FALSE to F.

[moodymudskipper]

This might be done with the "data" arg, I'm not sure we need more, we still need though to :

• special case "base"
• find a place_holder for all base packages, which might become the default, might be something like "*base_packages*"

before setting as a default we should look at the performance impact
