You are attributing documentation for R to R.app, a separate project not
part of the R sources.
R.app calls R with arguments --no-save --no-restore --gui=aqua, and does
not pass its own arguments on. A fluent speaker of Objective C could
change this easily enough.

Hi,
I have a number of configurations in my .Rprofile that are run when I start
R.app. I typically start R.app from a Terminal...
You can only one configuration there: it is all run or not run at all.
$ open -a R
... which nicely reads my .Rprofile as R.app starts.
On occasion I wish to enter R in the '--vanilla' state. Right now I do that by
starting a command line version ...
$ R --vanilla
... which starts a command line instance of R. That is fine except that I
regret the loss of the nice R.app interface while I stumble around on the
command line. So, I wonder if there is a way to start R.app in a similar way -
that is start R.app without reading any of the user configurations. I have
tried tricks like the following without success.
$ open -a R --args '--vanilla'
I don't see any hints about in the R-SIG-Mac help archives nor it here...
Set R_PROFILE_USER to avoid your ~/.Rprofile being read: see ?Startup .
I just tried
env R_PROFILE_USER=foo open -a R
where '~/foo' does not exist. And similarly for other startup options ....
