I'm with Fer here. I'm afraid I don't see the point in telling ESS about
personal libraries. This thread taught me it is possible in the first place,
even after 20+ years using ESS. ;-)
The important thing appears to tell R about personal libraries, so that what
works inside Emacs+ESS will also work elsewhere.
Honest question: what do you guys use ess-r-package-library-paths for?
