Use of unexported objects from {bit} in ':::' generating new CRAN NOTEs

[MichaelChirico]

ff/R/ffbit.R

Line 82 in d9dd755

dat <- bit:::R_bit_as_hi(x, range, 0L)

I'm not sure why, but the current version of {bit} started generating NOTEs from R CMD check:

  Unexported object imported by a ':::' call: ‘bit:::R_bit_as_hi’
    See the note in ?`:::` about the use of this operator.

That's been there for 13 years, I'm not sure what's changed to generate the NOTE.

How would you like to proceed?

1. I can export R_bit_as_hi from {bit}
2. We can hack around the R CMD check ding, e.g. get("R_bit_as_hi", asNamespace("bit"), inherits = FALSE)
3. ...

Oh, I see, CRAN has an exception for not caring when the ::: package has the same maintainer :)
