I happened to use a variable 'matches', and it gave this tricky to understand error from function name clash within the tidyselect package.

Doesn't have to be 'matches'; also tested with 'contains'.
Using a variable name of a function outside of tidyselect package seems to be fine (e.g. 'hasName').

Expected behaviour would be to detect the user has a variable in calling environment and point to that instead of function in package.

reprex:

my_select <- \(x, expr) tidyselect::eval_select(rlang::enquo(expr), x)

df <- data.frame(name = "foo", value = "bar")
matches <- c("name")
will_error <- my_select(df, tidyselect::any_of(matches))
#> Error in `my_select()`:
#> ℹ In argument: `tidyselect::any_of(matches)`.
#> Caused by error in `tidyselect::any_of()`:
#> ! Can't subset elements.
#> ✖ Subscript must be numeric or character, not a function.
