I don't know what your work flow looks like, but I certainly do not equate
"writing R with functions" to "passing parameters at the command line".
Rather, these seem quite orthogonal to me. I often have one R file of
functions, and another R file where I source the first file and keep a record
of various invocations of those functions as I identify which parameter values
answer questions I have, and I copy those to an interactive R console session
for testing.
I would find the operating system command line an uncomfortable place to
experiment with those parameter values because I often want to use R to
repeatedly invoke those functions with range of values and then plot those
results.
In fact, I can hardly imagine a scenario where I wanted to specify arguments
when invoking my R script from the command line, since I can examine the status
of the system clock, files and databases from inside R to determine what needed
to be done next if I wanted to invoke a script automatically. I would only want
to do that if I planned to call R from another scripting language, and I
haven't needed to do that yet.
