+ "Provides implementations of functions which have been introduced in R
+since version 3.0.0. The backports are conditionally exported which results
+in R resolving the function names to the version shipped with R (if available)
+and uses the implemented backports as fallback. This way package developers
+can make use of the new functions without worrying about the minimum required
+R version.")
