I've found and I'm very excited with the Hadley's "conflicted" package that does some magic scanning source code and revealing possible conflicts like stat::filter and dplyr::filter. It enforces you to explicitly specify what function do you need and prevents you from making very unpleasant and non-obvious bugs.
I wonder if there is something similar that scans your files and detects functions with occasionally missed side effects.

It can be very handy considering the fact that there is still missing any reliable tool in RStudio like in Intellij IDEA helping you to extract functions properly. I know the existing one but it is still not so good.
If no, is it a good idea to suggest such a package to be considered to Hadley?
The scanner will look at the loaded packages (which automates paying attention to the order of loading and the masked by messages). I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to automate script loading, library listing and scanning, but the conflicted engine right now only does functions in packages, not user-defined, if that's what you're looking for. Among the thousands of packages with tens of thousands of function, it would be a tall order to scan for all possible conflicts.
Here's what doesn't happen when you add a user-defined function with a namespace conflict to a loaded library
I think the closest I can come to what you looking for among a directory tree of scripts is a descending parser to create a hash of file:library and grep out library(), write to tmp.R, run conflict_scout(pkgs = NULL) and write back the output report as a comment to the related script.
