option to get package and function together with code completion

[alp78]

This would be handy for conflicting functions, debugging purpose, or communicating the code to others who are not familiar with used packages. Having to write down the packages manually is annoying and time consuming, it could be avoided with code completion.

this request has 2 parts:

1) option to include masked functions in the completion pop-up menu

Example:

x magrittr::set_names() masks purrr::set_names()

while typing set_n and tab in the text editor, we only see the unmasked function magrittr::set_names() in the completion menu. I'd like to be able to pick the one I need from the menu.

2) option/shortcut to get code completion to write down both package::function()

Example:

for magrittr::set_names() when tabbing twice set_n in the text editor, code completion only writes down the function set_names(). I'd like an option/shortcut to get completion to write down the full designation magrittr::set_names().

feature 2) could further reduce time while creating packages, where prefixes are highly recommended.

@alp78 Thank you for the suggestions, and @Bijaelo for the added reason. We'll review them as we continue developing RStudio.
