We are using “R lint” for code checking, it is producsing numerous messages about the use of “::”. For example:

> Don’t use :: to access data.table, which is already imported from data.table.

Do you prefer the use of “::” for the clarity (we will ignore the messages) or …, or not due to performance, testing or … (we will act on the messages, eventually)?
