How to check if an environment is a package namespace

I am looking for a way to detect if an environment is a package namespace. Desired behavior:

is.namespace(environment(data.frame))
## [1] TRUE
is.namespace(environment(ggplot2::ggplot))
## [1] TRUE
is.namespace(globalenv())
## [1] FALSE
is.namespace(new.env(parent = globalenv()))
## [1] FALSE

Turns out there is such a function. But for reasons that I don't understand it is named isNamespace instead of is.namespace.

> isNamespace(environment(data.frame))
[1] TRUE
