I discovered empirically that cat("\r") in the R.app console emits a
newline: is that intentional? It is the only way of running R I have
found for which that is true. (The R Windows GUI and all terminals, even
on Mac OS, just move to the beginning of the line.)
The reason for testing was txtProgressBar() in pre-2.7.0, which expects \r
to do a carriage return, only (as documented in ?Quotes). I could change
this to use backspaces (less reliably), but it would seem better to make
the console consistent with the documentation and e.g. Terminal.
