A wrapper function to detach that removes a package from the search path, but takes a package name as input similar to library.
Usage
unlibrary(package)
Arguments
package
A package name, which may be specified with or without quotes.
Value
Identical to detach.
Details
Unloads a package. This is just a wrapper for the detach function. However, the package argument is just the name of the package (rather than the longer string that is required by the detach function), and -- like the library function -- can be specified without quote marks. The unlibrary function does not unload dependencies, only the named package.
The name "unlibrary" is a bit of an abuse of both R terminology (in which one has a library of packages) and the English language, but I think it helps convey that the goal of the unlibrary function is to do the opposite of what the library function does.
