[BUGZILLA #16756] Parse data not available in package

[MichaelChirico]

This was reported by Kirill Mueller in R-devel:

I can't seem to reliably obtain parse data via getParseData() for
functions from installed packages. The parse data seems to be available
only for the last file in the package.

See [1] for a small example package with just two functions f and g in
two files a.R and b.R. See [2] for a documented test run on installed
package (Ubuntu 15.10, UTF-8 locale, R 3.2.3). Same behavior with
r-devel (r70303).

The parse data helps reliable coverage analysis [3]. Please advise.

Best regards

Kirill

I've confirmed this on Windows and will track down.
