[R] giving priority to stats package

[Greg Snow]

You could use the `pos` arg to place the newly loaded package(s) on
the search path after the stats package.  That would give priority for
any functions in the stats package over the newly loaded package (but
also give priority for any other packages earlier on the search path).
