Yes, indeed. And I have done some work. The hesitation is that we are also trying to integrate it with other ways of initializing R and moving things to use more R code so that it is easier to customize/extend. And I feel it is better to get this right once rather than shoving this in now on different platforms and making it more difficult to do the general approach in the future. Getting it to behave on different platforms is time consuming and best done once.
