Description: Functions introduced or changed since R v3.0.0 are
        re-implemented in this package. The backports are conditionally
        exported in order to let R resolve the function name to either
        the implemented backport, or the respective base version, if
        available. Package developers can make use of new functions or
        arguments by selectively importing specific backports to
        support older installations.
