[R] define stuff to be only usable in the same file

[Jessica Streicher]

Packaging ist still too complicated for my level i guess, can't get it to work properly, and it seems a lot of work.

However apparently putting a "." in front of functions will hide them, saw that in another script, don't know what its about, but it works, so who cares..
