I don't think so. I pointed out that it was an undocumented feature of
at least some Babel languages. I tested a bit and found it missing in a
couple of others, one of them R, hence the report.

Agreed, on both counts. For R it's a redundant feature I can't really
think of a use case for, so it would be for consistency across languages
only, but it wouldn't hurt.

I don't know that it /should/ be. I think an informative error message
would be better. But it /is/ the current behavior also in the few other
languages I have tested (Perl, Python, Scheme after the fix) as well as
Elisp.
