#' @title Import backported functions into your package
#'
#' @description
#' Imports objects from \pkg{backports} into the namespace of other packages
#' by assigning it during load-time.
#' See examples for a code snippet to copy to your package.
#'
#' @param pkgname [\code{character(1)}]\cr
#'   Name of the package where the backported function should be assigned.
#' @param obj [\code{character}]\cr
#'   Name of objects to assign, as character vector.
#'   If \code{NULL}, all backports which are not provided by R itself are assigned.
#' @param force [\code{logical}]\cr
#'   If \code{obj} is provided and \code{force} is set to \code{FALSE}, only backports
#'   not provided by the base package of the executing R interpreter are imported.
#'   Set to \code{TRUE} to ignore this check and always import the backport into the package's namespace.
