Using loadedNamespaces() would prevent overriding a base function, but it would require to have a background looping process... There is a trade-off to solve here...

Perhaps it would be good to understand how https://github.com/r-lib/conflicted works since it reacts to function calls without overwriting them... If you know how this works, please comment here.

Another package that repurpose an original R function (install.packages()) is CoprManager.
No I don't think CoprManager repurpose anything, I think they just tweak the repository where install.packages() reads via fiddling with the R options. I don't understand their code at all, but it seems out of scope for the current issue.
